Dagenham is famous in the motoring industry for the Ford sewing machinists' strike of 1968, which triggered the passing of the Equal Pay Act. Ford's automotive factory opened in the town in 1931 and produced almost eleven million cars before vehicle assembly ceased in 2002. Dagenham is just outside London's extended Ultra Low Emission Zone, which became eighteen times larger in 2021. The town is connected to London Underground services by three stations: Dagenham Heathway, Dagenham East and Becontree.
Urban driving in Dagenham 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 Dagenham can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Dagenham 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 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.
