Frequent starting, stopping and gear changes place the clutch into use much more often than steady motorway driving.
Why stop-start traffic matters
Clutch life depends heavily upon driving style, mileage, type of driving and how much time is spent in stop-start traffic.
What this means for city drivers
Someone doing lots of urban stop-start driving can place very different demands on a clutch compared with someone doing mostly steady motorway journeys.
Keeping an eye on wear
If you regularly drive in stop-start traffic, it's worth getting the clutch checked at the first sign of slipping, judder or unusual pedal feel.
