What should I do if my Vauxhall Movano is experiencing brake failure?

Lately, I've noticed that my Vauxhall Movano is having trouble braking properly. The brakes feel spongy and I have to press down really hard to get the van to stop. What could be causing this issue and what should I do to fix it?

First of all, it's important to get your vehicle checked by a certified mechanic as soon as possible. Brake failure can be very dangerous and should not be ignored. It could be due to a number of reasons, such as worn brake pads, a leak in the brake system, or even air in the brake lines. It's best to have a professional diagnose and fix the issue. Don't try to drive the van until it has been repaired.

In the meantime, you can try pumping the brake pedal a few times before coming to a complete stop. This can help build up pressure in the brake system and make it easier to stop the vehicle. However, this is only a temporary solution and should not be relied upon for long-term use.

Additionally, make sure to check your brake fluid levels and top up if necessary. Low brake fluid can also cause issues with braking performance. If the problem persists after these steps, it's best to have a mechanic take a closer look.
