Chewing seatbelts and soiling the upholstery are some of the ways your pet dog can cause you to fail an MOT, and leave you with an expensive repair bill. Car and van leasing firm Select Car Leasing has revealed the steps motorists can take to protect their vehicles from their pets.
Graham Conway, Managing Director of Select Car Leasing, said: “Many people train their dogs in the home but neglect to prepare them for car journeys. Being in a vehicle is a new experience for a lot of pets and can cause anxiety, which can result in upholstery being scratched, seatbelts being chewed and floors being soiled.
“Not only can damage to the interior cost owners in repair bills, it can also make cars hazardous and therefore fail an MOT.”
