At Newbury 4x4 we can do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to ensure all manufacturer's standards are met.

We will assess areas rating them red, amber or green to let you know of any potential work that may need to be carried out and its severity.

We can also offer an electronic health check of all on board systems using the latest diagnostic equipment. Prices start from £45 + VAT.

Vehicle Health inspection - Frequently Asked Questions

How can a Vehicle Health Inspection save me money?

Many vehicle faults don't happen overnight. Components usually wear gradually, giving trained technicians the opportunity to spot potential issues before they become major problems. A Vehicle Health Inspection allows us to identify areas of concern early, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. In many cases, addressing a worn component before it fails can prevent damage to other parts and significantly reduce repair costs.

Put simply, a small investment in preventative maintenance today can often help avoid a much larger repair bill tomorrow. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to protect the reliability, safety, and long-term value of your vehicle.

Is a Vehicle Health Inspection the same as an MOT?

No. An MOT is a legal roadworthiness test that checks whether a vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required by law. A Vehicle Health Inspection is more proactive and focuses on identifying wear, deterioration, and maintenance requirements before they become MOT failures or lead to breakdowns.
