Situated less than twenty miles away from the largest city in the north of England, Bolton drivers rack up a lot of commuter miles, travelling along busy routes such as the M61 on a regular basis. The town itself sees heavy traffic too, with places like Derby Street and Albert Road experiencing congestion during peak hours. This level of stop-start traffic can have a significant impact on older vehicles, which is likely why so many drivers in the area are looking to get rid of theirs.
