As the owner of a car, you must maintain everything that is required for it to run safely on the road. Its very important that there are no faults at all that could put you, other drivers, or pedestrians at risk of injury.

Faulty brakes and steering problems are common, so its up to you to ensure that your own vehicle has been tested regulary. You dont want to add yourself to the ever growing list of fatal accidents caused by such problems.

If you are going to invest in good transport then its worth taking the time to keeping the servicing and mot up to date. You need proof that the car is in a safe condition before you can sell it to someone else in the future.

You can do the simple maintenance work yourself such as filling up the oil and engine coolant. These are very important and will stop your engine from exploding. An engine rebuild costs a lot of money but can be avoided very easily.

Did you know that if you dont have an mot then you cannot get a tax disc, and without a tax disc, your insurance is void so its very important that you keep your mot up to date or you could face a fine or your car will be impounded.

You must be aware that if a brake light or a head light pops, you need to replace these straight away. When you are night driving, you need to be as visible as possible or you and other motorists will be at a high risk of collision.

Your seat belts can save the lives of you and your children so its a very high priority that these are checked on a regular basis. If you find a fault then do not allow a person or child to sit there and get this fixed as soon as possible.

The safety of you, your family and other motorists is in your hands. Get your vehicle checked by qualified engineers more than once per year to allow the chance to find any faults that could cause harm or serious injury.
