MOT

Your MOT kicks in when your car gets over 3 years old. Each year thereafter you are obliged to get an MOT test to ensure your car meets the road requirements set by the Ministry of Transport.

MOT testing is a series of checks made on aspects of your vehicle; the main testable parts of your car are as follows:

• All your lights including your stops lights, headlamps and rear reflectors. Your headlamp aim and your indicators.
• All aspects of your steering, suspension,
  wheel bearings and shock absorbers.
• Your hand brake, foot brake, ABS (if appropriate)
  and all hydraulic systems.
• Tyres (see below)
• Seatbelts
• Mirrors, seats, doors, spare wheel, car body condition,
  exhaust, horn, windscreen, washers and wipers.
