What is a Vehicle Health Check?

A Vehicle Health Check (VHC) is a check conducted on your car which includes a visual inspection of your car's brakes, wheels, tyres, exhaust, steering, key fluid levels and more. 

VHCs are similar to an MOT, and help provide you with peace of mind that your car is in a sound condition to be on the roads. 

Why should I get a Vehicle Health Check? 

Vehicle Health Checks are essential to highlighting the safety, reliability and general roadworthiness of your car, clearly documenting potential hazards with a simple traffic light system. VHCs are designed to bring any wear and tear to your attention prior to larger checks, such as your MOT and service. 

Are VHCs Essential?

No, VHCs are not essential (unlike services and MOTs), but they are comprehensive checks of your car that are completed by a trained Kia technician. They offer you the chance to identify any issues and repair them before a larger check is conducted. 

What Happens during a Vehicle Health Check?

A trained technician will take a look over your car and document any potential issues, or highlight any issues that may need immediate attention. They're a recommended service to give drivers ease when purchasing and maintaining a car, and often eliminates the surprise of a larger service or MOT bill.
