WHAT'S INSPECTED DURING AN
MOT?
An MOT is a compulsory annual test of a vehicle required when it reaches 3 years of age. Please note that different rules apply if the vehicle is used as a taxi. It is the responsibility of the registered keeper to ensure this is completed. Your MOT Inspection will ensure that the vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards as regulated by the DVSA. The checks include but are not limited to:
- The seat belts installed are checked for type condition, operation and security. All compulsory seat belts must be in place.
- The seats are secure and both front and back can be secured in an upright position.
- The doors latch securely in closed position. Front doors should open from inside and outside the vehicle. Rear doors may need to be opened to gain access to testable items.
- The brakes condition, operation and performance (efficiency test). Note the removal of the road wheels is not part of the test.
- The tyres and wheels condition, security, size, type and tread depth. Spare tyres are not inspected.
- The registration plates condition, security, characters correctly formed and spaced.
- The lights condition, operation and security. Headlamps for aim.
- The bonnet securely latches in the closed position.
- The wipers and washers operate to give the driver a clear view ahead.
- The windscreen condition and the driver’s view of the road.
- The horn operates correctly and is of a suitable type.
- The steering and suspension is of satisfactory condition and operation.
