Why Your Car Must Be Road Legal

Driving without a valid MOT certificate is illegal and can result in hefty fines. More importantly, it ensures your car is safe to operate, protecting you, your passengers, and other road users. Regular MOT checks also help identify potential issues early, saving you from costly repairs down the line and maintaining your vehicle’s value.

What is Checked During an MOT?

During an MOT test, several key components of your vehicle are inspected, including:

  1. Tyres and Wheels: Inspecting tread depth, condition, and alignment.
  2. Brakes: Checking for wear, fluid levels, and overall functionality.
  3. Lights and Indicators: Ensuring all lights are operational and correctly aligned.
  4. Steering and Suspension: Examining for wear and correct functionality.
  5. Exhaust and Emissions: Testing for emissions levels and ensuring the exhaust system is secure.
  6. Seatbelts: Checking for wear and proper operation.
  7. Body and Structure: Inspecting the vehicle’s overall condition, including doors, mirrors, and windscreen.
  8. Horn: Ensuring it works correctly.

 

These checks help identify any issues that could compromise your vehicle’s safety or performance​.

Pre-MOT
Checks

To give your vehicle the best chance of passing the MOT, it’s beneficial to perform some pre-checks:

  1. Check Lights: Ensure all lights, including indicators, brake lights, and headlights, are functioning.
  2. Inspect Tyres: Verify that tyre tread depth is above the legal minimum of 1.6mm and check for any damage.
  3. Test Wipers and Washers: Make sure your windscreen wipers are effective and the washer fluid is topped up.
  4. Check Fluids: Ensure engine oil and other fluids are at the correct levels.
  5. Clean Your Car: A clean vehicle, especially the number plate, can prevent unnecessary MOT failures.
