How to Prepare Your Vehicle for a Long Journey

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for a Long Journey

1. Check Your Fluids

Inspect oil, coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid. Top up if needed and check for leaks.

2. Inspect Tyres

Look for low tread, sidewall cracks, or low pressure. Don’t forget to check the spare!

3. Test Your Battery

If your battery is more than three years old, have it tested. Bring jump leads just in case.

4. Lights and Wipers

Make sure all exterior lights work. Clean your windscreen and check wipers for streaking.

5. Pack Emergency Supplies

Include:

  • First aid kit

  • Torch

  • Water and snacks

  • Phone charger
