A new study has revealed that Durham motorists are the worst in the UK for avoiding carrying out vehicle repairs due to spiralling costs. In a survey, half of those asked there admitted to it, a figure that was double the national average of 25%.
Meanwhile a third (33%) of car owners in Durham also admitted to suffering from stress at least every week, if not every single day, about the cost of running their vehicle. This was again, higher than the national average of 21%.
With the cost of living in the UK continuing to rise and petrol prices becoming a particular point of concern, researchers surveyed 1,500 motorists from across the country to discover how this may be affecting the safe running of vehicles currently out on UK roads.
