Free Vehicle Health Check at Motor Match
At no charge to you, we offer a thorough Vehicle Health Check to ensure your vehicle is in optimal working order. The check is performed by a qualified technician, and involves a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle's bodywork, brakes, fluid levels, lights, steering, tyres, exhaust, suspension, and electrical components.
Benefits of a Free Vehicle Health Check with Motor Match
Early Detection of Problems
Booking your car in for a Free Vehicle Check means we can identify any problems needed before they escalate into expensive or major repairs.
Greater Fuel Efficiency
When you maintain your car, it becomes more fuel-efficient. Issues like low tyre pressure may cause your engine to work harder, leading to greater fuel consumption.
Improved Resale Value
Having documented history of regular maintenance and checks can increase the sellability of your vehicle.
Breakdown Prevention
A car that is well-maintained is a car that is less likely to break down. Regular checks mean any issues are spotted and dealt with early.
Understanding the Traffic Light System
Our easy-to-understand traffic light system will help you quickly identify the health of each component:
- Green indicates a clean bill of health with no issues on your vehicle
- Amber signifies potential work in the future.
- Red indicates an immediate need for attention.
Regardless of the results, our technicians will never proceed with any repairs unless you grant permission. So, ultimately, you have full control over your vehicle's maintenance.

Legalitalites of Vehicle Health Checks
Vehicle Health Checks are not a legal requirement in the way that MOTs are in the UK. However, regular services and vehicle checks are recommended. These free checks come with great benefits for car owners and not prioritising regular car checks and lead to numerous issues for drivers including:
- Missing early signs of vehicle safety issues leading to costly repairs (e.g. tyre cracks, low coolant)
- Lower resale value due to not having comprehensive documentation on vehicle history
