Everything You Need To Know About Your Car MOT Check

What Is An MOT Check?

The MOT test is a testing process that is done on the vehicle to make sure it is roadworthy. In the UK, a vehicle must comply with certain criteria to prove its competence. MOT which refers to the Ministry of Transport is a governing form in the United Kingdom that controls the suitability of every vehicle on the road. If your vehicle does not comply with specific safety terms, then it will not pass the MOT test. If a car fails the MOT test, the car owner requires to spend time either fixing the faults that caused a failure or have a garage service for it. Knowing issues earlier will help car owners have time to fix those problems before the test is performed. The test does not include the status of the engine, clutch, and gearbox. However, it is also not a guarantee of the overall health of the vehicle. Lastly, it does not indicate that the vehicle is roadworthy for the duration of the certificate.

  • The Body - The body of your vehicle will be checked for any damage. Extreme damage that has been left untreated could create more losses to the structure of the vehicle. Corrode or corrosion will indicate that the material is not as powerful as it should be and could collapse greatly in a disaster. Within the process, the body is also checked for ‘do it yourself’ patches that are not appropriate for the vehicle.se
  • Seat Belts - Your seat belts should be arranged and in operating order. According to the law, it is a must to use a vehicle with the use of seat belts. When the professional is reviewing the seat belts of your vehicle, they will also be examining the performance order of the airbags and ensuring the safety features within the vehicle all work perfectly.
  • Brakes - One of the essential parts of a vehicle are brakes and they must work properly. No professional is going to take a vehicle on the road with damaged brakes that are only asking for the accident. When they review the brake signal lights, they will also look at the brake fluid lights.
  • Exhaust Fan - The exhaust fan is conducted to make sure it is working efficiently. The enzyme has to be working accurately and if it has been repaired, they have to ensure it is up to the expected standards. Make sure it does not have any leaks.
  • Interior - Inside your car, the mirrors should be perfectly adjusted and the doors must close securely when closed. Also, doors should open from the inside and the outside precisely for the protection of the riders and the driver. The seats must be accurately and securely attached inside the car.
  • Tyres - Tyres are one of the most precious parts of any vehicle so they must be in excellent condition to run on the road. There should be no cracks in the wheels or any lack of tread.

  • Lights - All the lights of a car must be in good condition and work properly.
