How do I know if my brakes need checking?

Common signs include unusual noises, a soft brake pedal, longer stopping distances or a warning light on your dashboard. Even if your vehicle seems fine, regular checks can help find problems before they become serious.

How often should I have my brakes checked?

Brake checks should be carried out regularly as part of your vehicle maintenance routine, especially if you drive frequently or cover long distances.

Can brake problems affect my MOT result?

Yes, brake-related issues can affect an MOT test because the braking system is a key safety area inspected during the assessment. Problems such as worn components or poor brake performance may need attention before your vehicle can pass.

Are all brake repairs completed on the same day?

The time needed depends on the issue found during the inspection and whether replacement parts are required. Simple repairs may be completed quickly, while more complex problems may take longer. Your garage should explain the expected timeframe before work begins.

How can I make my brakes last longer?

Avoiding harsh braking when possible and keeping up with regular servicing can help reduce brake wear. Having your brakes checked regularly also helps spot small issues early.
