Short Journeys
Drivers who mainly do short winter trips can reduce problems by:
- Taking occasional longer drives to fully warm the engine
- Keeping the battery in good health through regular checks
- Ensuring tyres, coolant, and fluids are winter-ready
- Addressing warning lights early rather than ignoring intermittent issues
Understanding how a car is used is often more important than how many miles it covers, especially in winter.
