How to prepare your car for a service

What do I need to do before a car service? This is a commonly asked question amoungst Uk drivers, so, we thought we'd answer it! 

Some good things to go over before your service:

  • Assess your tyres,
  • Check your battery,
  • Check fluid levels,
  • Brake condition check,
  • Headlight test,
  • Air condition testing,
  • Windscreen wiper inspection,
  • Remove personal items from your car!

How servicing helps with MOT readiness

Servicing helps with MOT readiness by ensuring that key components, such as brakes, lights, tyres, and emissions, are in optimal condition, addressing wear and tear before they become causes for failure. While not legally required, a pre-MOT service can significantly increase the chances of passing on the first attempt, saving time and money on potential retests. 

How Servicing Enhances MOT Pass Rates:

  • Early Problem Detection: Mechanics can identify worn or broken parts (e.g., worn brake pads, suspension issues, or damaged exhaust) and fix them before the official test.
  • Emissions Compliance: A service typically includes an oil and filter change, which ensures the engine runs efficiently, directly improving the chances of passing strict emission tests.
  • Critical Component Inspection: Services include checking crucial safety items like brake fluid levels, tire tread depth (minimum 1.6 mm), and tyre pressure, which are major reasons for MOT failure.
  • Lighting and Electrical Checks: Technicians check that all lights—headlights, indicators, fog lights, and brake lights—are functional, replacing any blown bulbs that could cause an immediate fail.
  • Dashboard Warning Lights: A service ensures that warning lights (ABS, engine management, airbags) are cleared before the inspection.

Drivers of Thetford: Top Tips!

Can regular servicing improve reliability?

Yes, regular servicing significantly improves the reliability, safety, and lifespan of a vehicle. By adhering to a consistent maintenance schedule, you can catch minor issues before they escalate into major, costly, and inconvenient breakdowns. 
 

Is the cooling system checked during servicing?

Yes, the cooling system is a key component checked during a standard, interim, or full car service. Technicians inspect coolant levels, concentration, and signs of leakage in hoses, radiators, and water pumps to ensure the engine runs at optimal temperatures and prevents overheating. 
 

Are belts inspected as part of a service?

Yes, belts are generally inspected as part of a car service, but the depth of the inspection depends on the type of service (interim vs. full) and the type of belt (auxiliary/serpentine vs. timing/wet belt).
