Brakes
It may sound obvious, but the purpose of a braking system is to slow and stop
your vehicle. It is activated by a foot pedal and by a hand or parking
brake.
The brakes also allow you to stop suddenly (emergency stop) avoiding an
accident.
Therefore it is essential that you ensure that your braking system is
maintained and operating at optimum levels. It is also a legal requirement that
your brakes performs as intended and they will be tested as part of
your MOT.
Like all components, brakes and indeed braking performance deteriorate over
time and because it happens gradually, many people don't notice the difference
in their braking system. Having your brakes checked regularly at Ashtons Garage
could also save you time and money by preventing damage to other components.
