When should I get my van brakes tested?

There are a few signs that suggest it’s a good idea to get your van brakes tested. Just remember, these aren’t exhaustive! Even if you don’t see any of these signs, you should still get your brakes tested if you are concerned about their performance. Whilst there are some obvious indications that your brakes are struggling, such as the brake lights appearing on the dashboard or your van not slowing down as efficiently as usual, some others are less commonly known. Take a look and see if any of these issues apply to your vehicle:

Unusual noises

If you are hearing strange sounds coming from your van, there is a chance that your braking system could be under pressure. If you can hear a high-pitched squeal, then your brake pads probably need replacing. A harsh grinding sound means that you are likely to have completely gone through your brake pads. If this is the case then it may cause damage to other parts of your vehicle, meaning you will need help from one of our experts.

Pulling to one side

If you find that your van feels as though it is being pulled one way or another, there is a likely chance that your brakes are in need of attention. The brake pads, caliper, or brake hose may have suffered damage that will need to be repaired by one of our specialists. Finding and fixing the issue should address your van’s uneven steering.

Pedal issues

Are your pedals not feeling like they usually do? If you are needing to apply more pressure than normal, or your pedals are sensitive to a light touch, then there is probably an issue with your braking system. Our team will determine the cause of the issue and will be able to provide an efficient solution.
