What does a car exhaust do?

Your car exhaust is responsible for transporting gases away from your engine, cleaning them and finally expelling them from your car. Your exhaust also improves the performance and fuel efficiency of your car. Problems with your exhaust can therefore be disastrous for your engine’s performance, your wallet and the environment!

How do I know if my car exhaust needs replacing?

Some common signs that your exhaust may need replacing are:

Loud, roaring noises
Bad fumes
Reduced fuel efficiency
Rattling or hissing noises
Holes or cracks in your exhaust
Rust or corrosion

How long do exhausts last?

Major exhaust components are designed to last a long time, sometimes even the life of the vehicle, however there's no way to predict their true lifespan. Because exhausts are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations they can often experience issues and can begin to fail over time.

We recommend having your exhaust checked at least once every 10,000 miles, or once a year, whichever comes around first. So if you think yours is due a check, schedule a free exhaust check and one of our top-rated mechanics will be happy to take a look.

Can I drive with a bad exhaust?

Technically you can drive with a broken exhaust, however it's neither safe nor legal and could cause a number of problems when you're out on the road. In the UK, laws and guidelines regarding vehicle emissions are very strict, therefore if your exhaust is causing excessive amounts of harmful gases to be released, you could face a fine and an MOT fail. A bad exhaust will also prevent your engine from running as efficiently resulting in further problems and poor fuel economy.
