Need Help Passing Your MOT the First Time?
Regular maintenance is key to a smooth MOT test. Simple steps like checking tyre pressure and tread depth, ensuring lights and indicators work properly, and addressing any dashboard warning lights can help avoid common MOT failures. Here’s a quick summary of what to focus on:
- Lights and Indicators: Faulty lights, including number plate lights, are a common reason for MOT failures. Check they all function correctly before your test.
- Brakes and Handbrake: Listen for unusual noises and ensure your brakes and handbrake are responsive. Book a service if you’re unsure about their condition.
- Tyres: Make sure your tyres have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm and are free from damage. Don’t forget to check your spare tyre too.
- Windscreen and Wipers: Ensure the windscreen is free of cracks or chips, and that wipers are in good condition for effective water clearance.
- Exhaust and Emissions: Excessive smoke or pollutants can lead to a failure. Regular servicing can help keep your emissions within acceptable limits.
For extra peace of mind, consider a pre-MOT inspection at Elite Garages Fareham, where our expert technicians can address potential issues before your test. Keep your car clean and roadworthy to maximise your chances of passing your MOT the first time!

Expert Wheel Alignment in Fareham
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for your car’s performance, safety, and tyre lifespan. At Elite Garages Fareham, we offer precise wheel alignment services using advanced equipment. Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling. Our technicians ensure your wheels are correctly aligned, providing a smoother, safer driving experience and saving you money in the long run.
Why Is Wheel Alignment Important?
Wheel alignment, also known as wheel tracking, is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. This may seem like a small detail, but it plays a significant role in your vehicle’s overall performance and safety.
Having properly aligned wheels can improve your car’s handling, making it easier to steer and control. It also helps with tire wear, ensuring that your tires wear evenly and last longer. Misaligned wheels can cause one side of the tire to wear out faster than the other, resulting in costly replacements.
In addition to these benefits, proper wheel alignment can also improve fuel efficiency. Misaligned wheels create more resistance on the road, causing your car to use more fuel. By getting regular wheel alignment services at Elite Garages Fareham, you can save money on both tire replacements and fuel costs.
Comprehensive Brake Services in Fareham
The braking system is a crucial safety component of any vehicle. At Elite Garages Fareham, we understand the importance of having properly functioning brakes and offer comprehensive brake services to keep you safe on the road. Our skilled technicians can diagnose and repair any issues with your brake system, whether it’s replacing worn brake pads or repairing faulty hydraulic components. Trust us to ensure your brakes are in top condition for your peace of mind.

It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Moreover, if your car’s engine requires full-synthetic motor oil, it might go as far as 15,000 miles between services.

This gets to the heart of shopping around for servicing. The good news is that you’re free to have your car serviced by whichever garage you like. This is thanks to a law passed in October 2003. Before that date, car makers could insist your car was serviced by their dealers during the term of their new car warranty.

Most manufacturers recommend having a full car service once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. But this depends on your car and how you drive it. You can check your service book to see when your car was last serviced – and it should be updated or stamped by the mechanic after completion of a service.
