Bristol has strong connections to the car industry thanks to the iconic British brand Bristol Cars. This manufacturer made vehicles for the rich and famous and rose to prominence after the Second World War. In 2021, an entrepreneur announced plans to revive the brand, to the delight of many fans. Unfortunately, a 2022 study of 25 major cities named Bristol the worst place to drive in Britain based on congestion, air quality, road condition, active bus routes and several other factors.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Bristol to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Bristol, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
Driving in cities like Bristol puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Bristol for all these crucial components.
A vehicle health check (VHC) is the easiest way to get peace of mind about your car's condition. If you find a comprehensive VHC, it will function as a transmission health check, engine health check, and car fluids health check rolled into one.
This guide to vehicle inspections discusses everything that might be included and how much it's likely to cost. Alternatively, check out the Q&A section below for a quick overview.
What's included in a vehicle health check? A technician will visually inspect the wheels, brakes, engine, exhaust, tyres, steering, wiper blades and fluid levels. After this, they will compile a report, including any recommended work.
Is a car health check free? Some businesses offer free basic health checks. Still, you'll have to pay if you're looking for a robust report - especially as a pre-purchase inspection before buying your next car.
Health check vs MOT - are they the same thing? The answer is a resounding no. An MOT is a standard annual test required by law, whereas a health check is an optional safety check-up.
