How please? It doesn't technically overheat. The temperature doesn't go beyond half of the reading anyway, just that it is higher than it used to be but then later it balances

Check your coolant or water if it is mixed with oil. If it is: then your gasket is burnt and if left unchecked, your cyclinder head will be warped.

If that checks out fine. Then check your radiator cover cap if the seal is broken.

Do you experience over heating in traffic or while on motion?

For knowledge sake, assuming it actually overheats:
It can be air trapped in the cooling system, bad radiator or expansion tank cover, bad thermostat, dirty radiator, exhaust blockage, engine oil circulation problem, bad water pump, wrong spark plugs, wrong fan direction, overfilled expansion tank, rust and scales, faulty fan speed control (e.g no high speed), cooling system blockage for example kinked hose) and so on...

I have been assured, I was only concerned the temperature gets to half of the mark reading. But I have been told here that is normal and I have also browsed it to be normal too. Thanks

Thats the way the manufacturer has designed it, all cars too, that half mark is the appropriate temp your car is meant to be running at

That's true, I made extensive research and found it to be true. So how will people know exactly when their cars overheat then? When above the half mark right?
