Oxford is famously not a car-friendly city, though it has a strong vehicle manufacturing history. Morris Motors was established in Oxford in 1910, and it has been home to the production site for Mini cars since 2000. In 2022, A pilot Zero Emissions Zone (ZEZ) was launched in the city centre, meaning all petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles will incur a daily charge for driving in the area, and there are various other traffic restrictions in place.
Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality. Vehicles that produce zero emissions, such as fully electric cars, motorcycles and vans, can use the zone without incurring a charge. However, all petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles will be charged for driving in the ZEZ between 7 am and 7 pm unless they have an exemption or 100% discount. The zone is signalled by traffic signs and enforced using numberplate recognition cameras around Oxford. You can pay the charge online.
Driving in cities like Oxford 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 Oxford for all these crucial components.
A winter car check helps prepare your car for the harsh winter months. It typically includes an inspection of the tyres, brakes, battery, windscreen wipers, lights and fluids to ensure everything works correctly.
Problems with any of these components can be dangerous, but even more so when the temperature plummets and the days get shorter. You are significantly more likely to be involved in a road accident in the winter - booking a car check helps alleviate that risk.
Spotting an issue with your tyres is easy enough, but do you have the mechanical know-how to recognise a developing fault in the braking system? If the answer is no, a winter check could help you.
Having your vehicle inspected is about more than just safety; it's also about peace of mind. There's nothing worse than worrying about whether your car will make it to the end of a journey without breaking down. But after a winter car check, you don't have to.
