Britain's motorists are too reluctant to take their car in for repairs, car insurance firm esure said today.
A study from the car insurance provider has shown that 71 per cent of drivers - around 23 million people - delay taking their motor to the garage despite knowing that something is wrong with it.
Shockingly, 44 per cent of those polled by the car insurance firm claimed that they would prioritise spending extra cash on leisure activities rather than on necessary car repairs.
Almost one in ten (eight per cent) even said that they would only take their car in to the garage if it became 'unusable'.
Mike Pickard, head of risk and underwriting at esure, said: "Driving a car with a fault - no matter how small it may be, could potentially increase the likelihood of having an accident or breakdown - motorists should always think about the internal feel of the car whilst driving as well as any unusual noise they may hear.
"esure urges all drivers to check their dashboard for any warning lights the next time they're in the car and if unsure about what a specific light means, to check their manual or take their car to the local garage for it to be looked at."
