Brake Services Leicester
Your van’s braking system plays a vital role in ensuring safety, stability, and control on the road.
A faulty brake system not only compromises your driving experience but also puts you at risk of MOT failure, as per DVSA regulations, where braking performance is a key factor in earning an MOT VT20 pass certificate.
At Van Repairs Team, we offer precise and affordable brake checks and replacements in Leicester using the latest tools and OE-grade parts for long-lasting results.
What Causes Brake Issues?
Several factors can lead to premature wear or failure of braking components:
- Overloading the vehicle beyond its recommended capacity
- Brake fluid leaks
- Continuous stop-start driving in congested traffic
- Heavy or aggressive braking habits
- Rust or corrosion on rotors and calipers
When Should You Get a Brake Check?
Reach out to us if you notice any of the following signs:
- Soft or spongy brake pedal
If your brake pedal feels unusually light or goes down too easily, the master cylinder could be failing.
- Vibrations while braking
A vibrating brake pedal often indicates warped or damaged brake rotors.
- Increased stopping distance
If your van takes longer to stop than usual, the brake pads or hydraulic system could be compromised.
- Warning light illuminated on the dashboard
The brake warning light is a clear sign that immediate inspection is needed.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe safety hazards and costly repairs.
