Kensington is three miles west of Charing Cross, in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. It is served by several key roads: the A3220, which travels between Clapham Common and Ladbroke Grove; the A308, which connects Brompton and Bisham; and the A4, travelling west to Avonmouth. The speed limit on all Kensington roads is 20mph. Should you need public transport, the area has three stations - High Street, Gloucester Road and South Kensington - and it is on several bus routes.
Urban driving in Kensington may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Kensington can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Kensington is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.
A car MOT is an annual inspection that ensures your vehicle meets acceptable safety and environmental standards. It is a legal requirement to book an MOT test every twelve months unless your car is under three years old.
An MOT consists of dozens of tests, including an emissions test, but it doesn't cover the condition of the clutch, engine or gearbox. The three most common reasons for and MOT failure are lighting/signalling, suspension and brakes.
At the end of the test, you will get an MOT certificate that says whether your car passed or failed. If it fails, you can only drive your car if your current certificate is still valid and the test didn't identify any "dangerous" problems. Otherwise, you must get your vehicle repaired immediately.
Finding an affordable car MOT centre with good reviews is essential because you never know whether your vehicle will require extra work after the test. Fortunately, you're in the right place.
