What is a Car Safety Inspection?

Regular car maintenance is essential for keeping your vehicle running smoothly and ensuring your safety on the road. However, many vehicle owners often overlook booking a comprehensive car safety inspection as part of their regular maintenance.

At Halfords, we offer a 30-point car safety inspection, covering key vehicle components including the exhaust, the brakes, the steering and much more. By having our experts examine your vehicle, you can discover valuable information about the condition of your car and identify potential safety issues quickly, which can give you peace of mind while on the road.

This inspection is also particularly useful for identifying potential safety issues following an accident or collision.

This 30-point check should not be booked in place of a regular Interim, Full or Major Service.

Identify vehicle safety issues

The most obvious benefit of booking a 30 point car safety inspection is that it can identify if there are any potential safety issues if you’re in between your MOT and service period or if your car has been in an accident.
The Halfords car safety inspection covers a combination of basic and complex checks to ensure your vehicle is in full working order. Some of the safety checks include:

  • Inspecting the exhaust system and checking for any excessive smoke
  • Checking the power steering system for any leaks or corrosion
  • Examine the brake hydraulic system
  • Checking the wheel bearings
  • Inspect the operation of the exterior lights


By conducting a comprehensive car safety check that covers these key areas, any potential problems can be identified early, allowing you to rectify the issue before it develops further. If we do identify that any repairs are needed, we will provide you with a no obligation quote.

 
 

Quality Guarantee

All parts fitted at our Halfords Autocentres and National Tyres Autocentres are guaranteed for a minimum of 2 years or 24,000 miles* (whichever is sooner). Some parts such as batteries include a longer warranty as stated on the product.

Save money on repairs

Failing to check your vehicle regularly can mean that potential issues are overlooked and can become worse over time. Not only does this reduce the safety of your vehicle when out on the road, but it can also mean spending a significant amount of money on repairs and replacements at a later date. Keeping on top of your vehicle with regular checks can save you from any further damage and avoid mounting repair costs.
