What to check before an MOT

Before you take your vehicle for its annual MOT test, manufacturer main dealers recommend that you carry out a number of quick and easy visual checks to give your car the best chance of passing the test – saving you time and money.

Help your car pass it’s next MOT

Around 1.5 million vehicles fail their MOT due to simple things such as faulty bulbs, too little tyre tread, or even empty windscreen washer fluid bottles. It’s possible to anticipate most of these issues with a quick check of your car.

If you do find any faults that you’re unable to easily rectify yourself, it’s advisable to notify your manufacturer main dealer in advance so they can complete the work required before the test is carried out. Identifying the work before an MOT test will allow the problems to be rectified, so the car will be far more likely to pass its MOT test first time around.
