An annual service ensures your car is running and performing as it should it is also a great way for any potential issues to be addressed and fixed before it causes any further damage to the vehicle.

Many cars come with a service history telling you when the last service was and which parts were replaced. Modern cars tend to not have a service book instead the services are logged online by the main dealer. However, you can purchase a service book online and use it to keep a record of the service history.

Rust can start underneath the car.
Rust can start from under the car and spread over the chassis leading to extensive damage and causing your car to become unsafe meaning it is more likely to fail its MOT. Repairing rust as soon as possible will stop it spreading to other parts

Corrosion
Liquids and grit can cause corrosion creating holes and damaging the metal structure of your car. Check this over the winter months especially and regularly clean. If you can keep your car in a garage when you aren’t using it to reduce potential corrosion.

Bumps and Potholes in the Road
It is likely that you will encounter bumps and speed bumps in the road. Hitting a pothole at speed could impact the framework underneath the car such as the suspension and exhaust. If you hear a noise when going over a speedbump this could be the underside of your car hitting the surface of the road, reduce your speed when approaching any bumps in the road to avoid repair costs.

The underside of your car is important and should be checked regularly like other components to the car, to avoid costly repairs and ensuring it passes its MOT. Ensuring no rust or corrosion is affecting the underside of your car will help it stay in tip top condition.
