At Utility Vehicles UK, we know how much our customers rely on their golf buggies and utility vehicles — whether that’s to keep a golf course running smoothly, transport equipment across a large site, or provide reliable day-to-day mobility. As the winter months roll in, your vehicles face new challenges that can quickly turn into costly downtime if they’re not properly prepared.
That’s why we recommend booking a Winter Health Check with our experienced engineers. It’s the easiest way to keep your vehicles reliable, efficient, and ready for whatever the season throws at them.
Why winter puts extra strain on your vehicles.
• Batteries work harder
Cold temperatures reduce battery performance, meaning your vehicles may struggle to hold charge or deliver their usual range. A simple check now can prevent no-start situations later.
• Tyres and brakes matter more
Damp grass, icy paths, and wet surfaces reduce traction. If tyres are worn or brakes aren’t responsive, safety is compromised.
• Electrical systems face extra demands
Lights, heaters, and demisters (where fitted) are used more often in darker, colder months. Faulty bulbs, corroded connections, or weak wiring can let you down.
• Weather speeds up wear and tear
Rain, frost, and road salt can accelerate corrosion and cause moving parts to seize. Preventative maintenance reduces long-term damage.
What our winter health check covers.
Our engineers carry out a thorough inspection designed specifically for golf buggies and utility vehicles, including:
• Battery condition & charging system – testing voltage, connections, and charge retention.
• Tyres & brakes – ensuring safe tread depth, correct pressures, and responsive braking.
• Steering & suspension – checking for wear that affects handling on slippery ground.
• Lights & electrics – making sure you’re visible and everything functions reliably.
• Cables, lubrication & moving parts – protecting against moisture damage and seizing.
• General safety check – identifying small issues before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems.
The benefits to you.
• Peace of mind – knowing your vehicles are safe and dependable through winter.
• Reduced downtime – avoid vehicles being out of action when you need them most.
• Lower long-term costs – catching small problems early prevents costly repairs.
• Extended vehicle lifespan – regular checks help protect your investment.
