Things about MOT Test That You Should Know

Classification of problems:

At first, the vehicles could only pass, fail or receive an advisory regarding their condition, on the MOT test. Many changes were made to the test on 20th May 2018. Now the faults and problems are classified as minor, major and dangerous. All class 3,4,5 and 7 vehicles are tested against the new criteria; this includes all cars, motor homes, buses, and goods vehicles up to 3,500kg.

The three categories for the classification of problems are:

1. Minor MOT faults

A ‘minor’ fault would be viewed as one where the problem does not cause an immediate safety hazard but should be fixed soon. This is related to the existing system, but an advisory is given to items that the driver should know of and may cause a future MOT failure if not taken care of. An MOT certificate of passing the test will be issued if a vehicle only has some minor problems.
