Key Components Checked During an MOT
Our MOT inspection covers a wide range of critical areas on your vehicle to ensure its roadworthiness. Here’s a detailed look at the key components we inspect during the MOT:
BRAKES
The braking system is one of the most crucial safety features in any vehicle. We check for any wear, fluid leaks, or faults in the braking components. This includes inspecting brake pads, discs, and calipers to ensure they are in optimal condition. A faulty braking system can lead to a failed MOT, so it’s essential that your brakes are efficient and free from faults.
LIGHTS & SIGNALS
Properly functioning lights and signals are vital for both your visibility and the ability of other road users to see you. Our technicians will thoroughly check all lights, including headlights, tail lights, indicators, and brake lights, to ensure they are working correctly and are aligned properly. Reflectors and hazard lights are also inspected to confirm they are fully operational.
Suspension and Steering
The suspension and steering system plays a key role in the handling of your vehicle, ensuring a smooth ride and precise control. During the MOT, we check for any wear or damage to components such as shock absorbers, springs, and steering linkages. Any defects in these areas can seriously affect your vehicle’s safety, so it’s essential that these systems are in perfect working order.
Exhaust and Emissions
To comply with UK environmental regulations, we measure the emissions levels from your exhaust system to ensure they meet the legal limits. We also inspect the condition of the exhaust system to check for any leaks or excessive noise, which can be a sign of damage or wear. Vehicles emitting excessive pollutants will not pass the MOT, so a well-maintained exhaust system is crucial.
Tyres and Wheels
Your tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, so their condition is critical. We check tyre tread depth, which must be at least 1.6mm to pass the MOT, as well as inspecting for any cuts, bulges, or uneven wear. Additionally, we inspect the wheels for alignment and balance to ensure they’re in good condition.
Seatbelts and Safety Equipment
During the MOT, we inspect all seatbelts to ensure they function correctly, lock properly, and are not frayed or damaged. This also includes checking supplementary restraint systems (such as airbags) to verify they are operational and safe.
Bodywork and General Condition
Your vehicle’s structure needs to be in good shape to pass the MOT. This includes checking for excessive corrosion, damage to key structural points, and ensuring that the bodywork is secure. Any damage to the body or chassis that could potentially affect the vehicle’s safety or integrity will need to be repaired before the vehicle can pass its MOT.
