Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead 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 Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
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.
