Save yourself time and money with our top ten tips on how to prepare your car for its MOT.
November 09, 2021 - 14:10 GMT Gareth Herincx When a car reaches its third birthday* it must pass an annual MOT roadworthiness test. However, around 1.5 million vehicles fail their MOT every year due to simple things such as blown bulbs, too little tyre tread, or even an empty windscreen washer bottle.Thankfully it’s possible to anticipate most of these issues with a number of quick and easy checks to give your car the best chance of passing the test – saving you time and money.
3. Lights Ensure all of your car’s lights function properly – headlights, sidelights, rear lights, hazard lights, indicators, and even the number plate light. Ask a friend or relative to help you, or park somewhere where you can see your car's reflection. If a bulb has blown and you can't work out how to replace it, then ask for help rather than failing the MOT because you'll have to book in again for a re-test. 4.
7. Seatbelts Inspect all the seatbelts in your car for any damage and tug sharply to make sure that they react as they are supposed to if you have to brake severely. The driver’s seat should also adjust forwards and backwards. The backrests in both the driver and passenger seats must be able to be secured in the upright position.
