A wet winter caused a surge in UK pothole damage, with reports tripling in February and repairs costing up to £590.
A wet winter with 42% more rainfall than usual in England led to a sharp rise in pothole-related vehicle damage, according to the RAC.
February saw pothole-related breakdown reports more than triple compared to 2025, with 6,290 mentions, while January reports surged from 63 to 5,106.
Experts attribute the increase to standing water hiding potholes, poor drainage, and possible reduced maintenance.
Damage often includes broken suspension, distorted wheels, and damaged shock absorbers, with repairs costing up to £590.
Councils say they are working amid weather, safety, and budget challenges, and the government has pledged £7.3 billion over four years to improve road maintenance, including a new performance rating system.
Public reporting of road damage is encouraged.
