Malmesbury is bypassed by the A429, which travels between Coventry and Chippenham and provides the town with a link to the M4 motorway at junction 17. Three B roads also converge on Malmesbury: the B4040 to Sherston, the B4014 to Tetbury and the B4042 to Royal Wootton Bassett. Should you need public transport, the nearest train stations are Chippenham (accessible on the X99 bus route) and Swindon (on the 99 bus). Most services stop on West Street and Cross Hayes.

Malmesbury is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Malmesbury, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.

Your car's brake system is complex, consisting of pads, discs, callipers, brake fluid, ABS, rotors, a master cylinder, brake lines, backing plates and a handbrake. Many of these components wear down until you eventually must replace them.

Brake pads usually last between 20,000 and 60,000 miles, while brake discs last roughly 50,000 miles. Frequent harsh braking can considerably reduce the life of your car's brake system.

It can be challenging to tell what kind of car brake replacement or repair you need. An ABS fault, for example, will be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard. Alternatively, you might need to book a brake line repair if you notice your car pulling to one side.
