Book your MOTS Cranbrook test after having your brakes changed or repaired

It is very important to have your brakes checked to spare your vehicle from causing an accident.  The first thing to do, therefore, is to hire a car brakes Cranbrook professional who understands how the brake system works.  Mostly the major cause of brake issues are damaged brake pads.  Unless you like technical matters, just skip the task of changing the pads.

On the other hand, if you like technical challenges, it will be nice to try removing and replacing exhausted brake pads.  But how can one tell when their pads have a problem? It will mostly be when you hear unique noises that you have not heard before.  Note that during your MOTS Cranbrook inspection the noises can be detected leading to failure. Note that MOT test checks whether or not a vehicle meets road safety and environmental regulations. 

It is compulsory to take a MOT test by the third year since the auto’s registration(some after one year),  or if the vehicle is older than three years the next MOT test should be booked three years after the last test you did.  When a test is passed, usually the next MOT test will be indicated on the certificate. Without a valid MOT certificate you can be fined at least one thousand pounds. Resuming our car brakes Cranbrook discussion, it is good to always be alert to notice abnormal noises.

Screeching noises are rather common when a vehicle’s brake system has problems and these are heard when the brake pedal is released. When applying brakes, you may also notice that they are producing a grinding sound.  Noisy brake pads need not be repaired; they should be replaced immediately. Sometimes the rotor, also calliper, will be damaged and will be changed as well particularly if they are damaged to a point of making the steering wheel vibrate.

 It should also be noted that a damaged rotor triggers a pulsating sensation when you are stepping on the brake peddle and it is an indication that they need to be changed.  This sensation is also a sign that the brake pads, located inside the calliper, are starting to thin down.  If not replaced the pads will wear down to a point of making the brakes grind.  As we said earlier, do not change your braking system if you aren’t sure of your skills. 

Simply choose a mechanic who can assist you do it perfectly without triggering a problem that might demand more money in the near future. On the contrary, if you have mechanical knowledge or you have guts to do things, go ahead and change your brake pads and rotor. The process is most likely described in your handbook or manual. How often you will replace pads after the first time will depend on how you drive your vehicle and how often you use it. 

Also the status of the roads on which you drive the auto on, driving speed and the vehicle’s weight might all contribute to faster deterioration of the brake pads. As for your MOTS Cranbrook tests, ensure that you do not skip it not to get in trouble with the law.
