Plain-English glossary
A few car terms, without the jargon.
If garage language ever feels like a different planet, here's a quick translation of the words you'll hear most.
- MOT
- The annual test that checks your car meets the UK's minimum safety and environmental standards. Most cars need one once they're three years old.
- Service
- Planned maintenance — fresh fluids, filters and a check of key components — to keep the car healthy and prevent breakdowns.
- Diagnostics
- Connecting equipment to your car to read fault codes and pinpoint why a warning light is on or something isn't right.
- Clutch
- The part that lets you change gear smoothly by connecting and disconnecting the engine from the wheels. Wear shows as slipping or a heavy pedal.
- Suspension
- The springs and dampers that keep your ride comfortable and your tyres on the road. Knocks and a bouncy ride are common signs of wear.
- Bodywork
- The car's outer panels and structure. Body repairs put right scratches, dents and accident damage — cosmetically and structurally.
