none of us want our vehicle to fail it can be expensive the court frankly inconvenient around 1.5 million
cars follow the MOT test every year but most of these failures could have been prevented with just a few simple check sprior to the MOT test
I'm going to show you nine pre checks you can do yourself to increase the chance of your car pass against MOT first of all you want to remove your dipstick fully and wipe it clean
once clean reinsert it back into the engine fully
remove the dipstick once more and check that the oil is between the minimum and
maximum levels on the dipstick if it is below the minimum levels you might want
to top it off of it check your vehicle manual to find out what type of oil your
car uses ask someone to walk around your vehicle or if you switch all your
lights on and off if any of your mites don't work we advise you to take your
vehicle to your local garage to
replace them they can be difficult to replace yourself you wouldn't think it by
an empty screen wash water will cause an MOT failure we would recommend topping
it up regularly so you always have it when you need it you can use a 20p coin
to check tires tread depth if the outer rim of the 20 piers are visible then
you need to get a new tire if the soles of your tires are cracked or perished
then you may need to get them replaced also ensure your window screen is clean before
checking it the Java side of the windscreen is called the swept area in the
swept area you allow up to a 10 millimeter crack or chip however in the passengers
area you're allowed up to a 40 millimeter crackle chip tears or holes in your
wiper rubber will cause your vehicle to fail this MOT test check your wipers
while turning them on if they squeak or smudge in your windscreen then it might
be time to replace them brands new wiper blades can improve your visibility
massively check the belt material for any tears of damage and make sure would
hold should you need it to plug in all of your seat belts and check the lock
properly to ensure safety through your passages make sure the driver's seat is
able to adjust forwards and backwards easily make sure your number plate is
clean and check the font and spacing of the letters on both place front and
back they must comply with the legal requirements to pass the MOT test to ensure
your horn works give it a short blast if it doesn't work find a repair to fix
