Making sure that your brakes are in good condition is crucial for vehicle safety, and it is essential to have this part of your car inspected regularly. You never know when you might have to stop in an emergency, so it’s important to ensure that you are able to rely on your braking system.
How quickly your brakes will wear out is dependent on the type of journeys you make. For example, if you often drive around town rather than on motorways, your brakes are subjected to higher levels of wear and tear.

If you’re concerned about the performance of your brakes, you can book a free comprehensive brake check. We will inspect the condition of your brakes and let you know how long they are likely to last.
What do I need to know about brakes?
Your braking system is designed to slow and stop your vehicle. This system also enables you to make an emergency stop if necessary. It is a legal requirement that your braking system is performing as it should, and this part of your vehicle is thoroughly checked during its annual MOT test.
Like all the components of your vehicle, your braking system can deteriorate over time. This usually happens gradually, meaning that you may not notice any change. Having your brakes checked regularly will ensure your car is safe to drive and help prevent further damage.
