A new survey has revealed 56 per cent of drivers are delaying their vehicle maintenance as a result of the increased cost of living.
1,007 people participated in the survey – commissioned by Continental Tyres and conducted by Pureprofile – which asked a variety of questions relating to vehicle and tyre maintenance as well as road safety.
Almost everyone surveyed (99 per cent) said they’ve noticed an increase in the cost of living over the last 12 months with 39 per cent of drivers admitting to postponing vehicle maintenance due to financial constraints.
