Nearly half (49 per cent) of people have put off vehicle repairs due to rising living costs, a survey has found.
More than a third (39 per cent) are concerned their car will break down due to neglect, while 56 per cent are concerned about how they would be able to afford any repairs, the research by Censuswide among more than 2,100 people whose household owns a vehicle found.
More than half (54 per cent) of motorists also said they had started trying to use their vehicle less to save money, according to the survey in February for Nationwide Building Society’s FlexPlus account.
