MOT checklist
Quick checks you can do before your MOT to help avoid an easy fail.
- ✓
Lights
Check headlights, brake lights, indicators, fog and number plate lights all work. Blown bulbs are one of the most common MOT failures.
- ✓
Tyres
Tread must be at least 1.6mm across the central three-quarters. Look for cuts, bulges and correct pressures.
- ✓
Wipers & washers
Blades should clear the screen without smearing. Top up your screenwash before you come in.
- ✓
Windscreen
Chips or cracks in the driver's view larger than 10mm can mean a fail. Get them repaired early.
- ✓
Warning lights
Dashboard warnings such as engine, ABS or airbag lights can lead to a fail. Let us know if any are showing.
- ✓
Brakes
Listen for grinding or squealing and note if the car pulls to one side when braking.
- ✓
Horn & mirrors
Make sure the horn works and mirrors are secure and undamaged.
- ✓
Number plates
Plates must be clean, legible, securely fixed and correctly formatted.
- ✓
Seatbelts
Each belt should latch, release and retract properly with no fraying.
- ✓
Fluids & fuel
Top up oil and coolant, and bring the car with enough fuel and oil for the emissions test.

Common questions
When is my car due for an MOT?+
Most cars need their first MOT when they turn three years old, then every 12 months. You can have the test up to one month minus a day before the current certificate expires and keep the same renewal date.
What is included in a vehicle service?+
A service can include an oil and filter change, fluid checks, and inspections of the brakes, tyres and other key components. We can confirm what is included before your visit.
Can you investigate electrical faults?+
Yes. If you have a warning light, an intermittent electrical issue or a component that has stopped working, tell us what you have noticed and we can arrange checks to find the cause.
What happens during a diagnostic check?+
We use diagnostic equipment to read fault codes and investigate the symptoms you report. A fault code is a starting point, so further checks may be needed before we recommend a repair.
