A recent survey has proved that 22% of drivers use second hand tyres in their car rather than replacing with new ones in order to save money. This survey included several areas in the UK including Hull. It was also found that 17% of the people who drove cars often reconsidered their decision to use old tyres and more of them would prefer to use new tyres.
It is very important for all the cars based in Hull and other areas of the UK to undergo Mots, a test undertaken by Ministry of Transport to check whether the cars are worth driving on the roads or not.
Three major issues:
After the survey was conducted, 3 major issues were found. The first major issue which came up was that the used tyres mostly failed as the damages sustained even when they were fitted to the cars of the new owners. The second issue noted in the survey was that the drivers reported that the used tyre led to lack of grip resulting to accidents. And last but not the least, was the issue of failed MOTs.
Surveyor speaks:
A person named Roger Griggs, from Kwik Fit, who was one of the surveyors said that “Our research was conducted to bring forth the problems that are being experienced by the British drivers.” He further added that when the motorists consider buying used and worn out tyre, they must ask why the tyre is being given to them in the first place.”
It is quite obvious that the drivers from all over the world always want to avoid the motoring expenses but they must make sure that their cars undergo the MOT test. There are many garages in the UK that offer certified MOTs to the drivers. Get in touch with one of them now!
