MOT TOP TIPS

Some top tips to help, before you arrive for the MOT test. All these are simple tips are to help you have a smooth test. 

Top tip 1.

FUEL: Please make sure you have enough fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be running during the test. So please if the fuel light is on give it a little top up!

Charge: Electric vehicles we need them to have enough charge, so please don't bring them low on charge.

Top tip 2.

Wipers & washer fluid: Washer fluid being empty is a MOT fail & something really easy to top up yourself.

If you think the wiper blade/s are not clearing the screen very effectively then they can possibly fail the MOT. Please note rear wiper blades are not part of the MOT.

Top tip 3.

Bulbs/lights: If you have bulbs not working they could possibly effect you passing the MOT. If possible before the MOT get someone to help you check to see if they are working. 

Top tip 4.

Cleanliness: If the vehicle is full of belongings it is hard for us to test. We need access to all the seats & seat belts. The drivers seat needs to be able to move back & forth. We would ask you bring the car as empty as possible.

Note: Child seats are fine to leave in, they may flag as an advisory.
