MOT Test Preparation tips

The overall condition, age and mileage are all varying factors that may impact the chances of an MOT ‘pass’. However here are some simple tips to prepare your car before the MOT test:

Check your washer fluid and wipers are working
Check your windscreen for damage
remember many insurance companies allow windscreen replacement/repair without impacting your policy
Check the horn is working
Check all lights, indicators and hazards are working
Check your tyre inflation levels are correct
Check your tyre condition for damage and tread
the minimum is 1.6mm
Check the condition of seat belts and ensure they engage properly Other things to consider prior to the test:
Try to keep your boot clear
the MOT tester may need to look into the boot to examine the rear suspension mounting. – Make sure there is no jagged edges on your bodywork as this may result in an MOT failure. You can book an appointment at our Bodyshop to organise a bodywork inspection if needed.
