Brakes
Brakes should be checked at all times.
Only use the handbrake for stopping the vehicle only in exceptional situations and this should not be the norm.
Wiper Blades
Replace worn-out wiper blades. Worn out wiper blades will not clear the windscreen as well as should be the case. Replace with good quality brands which are more long lasting. This way you do not have to replace regularly and you will make savings in the long run.
Vehicle body condition
Inspect for dents and other damage you may not be aware of.
