What’s the difference between MOT and car servicing?

The MOT is designed to make sure that your vehicle is safe to be on the road. And while there are some overlaps in the checks on brakes, tyres and seatbelts, a service will involve additional checks designed to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently.
 
In fact, regular servicing can extend the life span of your vehicle and may be a condition of your vehicle warranty. Having a full service history makes your vehicle easier to sell.

How different tyres affect your car

All leading brand tyres have been optimised by their manufacturer, but what does that mean? Some are optimised for dry braking and cornering, others for safety in the wet, low road noise, or traction on icy roads. Some have been optimised simply for a low initial cost, while others have been optimised for low long term costs - through their durability and improved mileage per gallon.
 
They achieve these different qualities by altering the internal bracing of the tyre, applying layers of rubber with different chemical additives and finishing them with particular tread patterns. Designing tyres to excel in one area often means compromising their performance in others.
 
Manufacturers often recommend a particular tyre to correct small shortcomings in each vehicle model, but only the owner knows how often they will encounter ice or rain, be heavily laden, climb long hills, or drive over gravel.
 
Some drivers will appreciate quieter tyres (such as Pirelli P Zeros); those who carry heavy goods or passengers will appreciate firmer options (such as Pirelli Cinturato P7 XL). There is no substitute for the advice of Protyre’s qualified fitters.
