Hilly roads, brake feel and a sensible pre-test check
Silverdale is a village with a mining heritage, and the surrounding roads rise and fall enough that drivers there notice how their car copes with gradients. Regular hill driving is a good reason to pay attention to how the brakes, tyres and steering feel in the weeks before an MOT. Silverdale drivers are welcome to ask for a straightforward summary.
For Silverdale drivers, DB Autos offers MOT tests at £40 for cars and £50 for Class 7 vans. Book online at dbautosmottest.co.uk or ring us. We test the vehicle and explain the findings afterwards. If repairs are advisable, we describe them and the reasoning before any work begins, and nothing extra goes ahead unless you say so.
Driving up and down gradients puts the brakes and tyres to regular use, so pay attention to anything unusual. Does the pedal feel different from usual? Does the car pull to one side when you slow down? Mention any change when you book, as it helps the team know where to look. Beyond that, do the usual walk-round: lamps, horn, wipers, washers, mirrors and plates. Check the dashboard for any warning light. Silverdale is 5 miles from the Salem Street garage, so you can combine the test with other errands in the area.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.
