London

London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, is a bustling metropolis known for its diverse culture and thriving economy. With a population of over 8 million people, it is the most populous city in the country.

The most popular cars in London

When it comes to car ownership in London, the data reveals some interesting insights. Topping the list as the most popular car in the city is the Volkswagen Golf, a favorite among Londoners. Following closely behind are the Ford Fiesta, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes A-Class, and the Audi A3.

In addition to the aforementioned information, it is worth noting that Londoners have a preference for compact and fuel-efficient cars due to the city's congested roads and high fuel prices. This aligns with the city's commitment to reducing emissions and promoting sustainable transportation options.

Vehicle numbers in London

London boasts a significant number of licensed vehicles, with approximately 2.6 million cars registered in the city. This high number reflects the city's reliance on private transportation and the need for efficient and reliable car maintenance services.

Postcodes and suburbs in London

London is divided into several postcodes and suburbs, each with its own unique characteristics. Some of the notable areas include E1 (Whitechapel, Stepney, and Mile End), NW1 (Camden Town, Regent's Park, and Primrose Hill), SW1 (Westminster, Belgravia, and Pimlico), and SE1 (Southwark, Bermondsey, and Waterloo). These diverse neighborhoods contribute to the rich automotive landscape of London.

Car servicing

It’s usually recommended to give your car a full service every year or every 12,000 miles, whichever happens first. In between times, an interim service ensures your motor remains in the best possible condition.

Although not legally required, regular servicing will keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely, pinpointing potential problems early on and reducing the risk of more serious (and expensive) issues cropping up later.

And while there is some overlap with an MOT in terms of things checked, it doesn’t pay to skimp on either inspection.
