Preventative vehicle maintenance involves regularly checking and maintaining components that wear over time, such as brakes, belts, fluids, suspension, and cooling systems. The goal is to address issues early before they cause breakdowns or further damage.
While regular servicing follows set intervals, preventative maintenance focuses on condition-based checks. It looks at how parts are wearing and how the vehicle is used, allowing maintenance to be carried out before problems develop.
