Car Health Checks - Gosport

A vehicle health check is a visual inspection carried out by an experienced technician to look over your car’s key systems and components to identify anything that’s worn, damaged, or developing into a problem. It’s not a service, and it doesn’t involve dismantling anything, but it gives you a clear, informed picture of where your vehicle stands.

At RCJ Automotive, we’ll tell you honestly what we find, prioritise anything that needs prompt attention, and give you a straightforward view of what can wait.

What a Health Check Covers

Brakes – visible pad and disc condition, brake fluid level
Tyres – tread depth, condition, and pressures
Lights – all external lights and indicators
Steering and suspension – visible wear, damage, or play
Fluid levels – oil, coolant, brake fluid, screen wash
Exhaust – visible condition and security
Battery – visual check and voltage test
Wipers and washers

When Is a Health Check Useful?

Before a long trip or holiday
After buying a used vehicle
Ahead of winter, when key systems come under greater demand
Before an MOT, to identify likely failure points in advance
If your car hasn’t been serviced recently and you want to know its condition

A health check won’t catch everything because some faults only reveal themselves under load or through diagnostics, but as a starting point it’s a practical, no-obligation way to get eyes on your vehicle. Get in touch with the team at RCJ Automotive in Gosport to arrange one.
