Any car that’s over 3 years old has to pass an MOT inspection. Not only is it the law but it is also in the best interests of you, as a auto-mobile owner, to be sure that your auto-mobile is fit to drive and that you are not putting yourself or any passenger in jeopardy in a car that shouldn’t be on the road. An MOT test will ensure that your auto-mobile not only meets road safety standards but also environmental standards re emissions.
The MOT inspection is valid for a year but keep in mind that your vehicle may not meet standards for that full period so if your car’s not in good condition between MOTs you need to get it fixed. If you have got an accident and it’s proved your vehicle’s poor condition contributed to the accident you will get into trouble even if your MOT hasn’t expired.
An MOT inspection does not cover the state of your vehicle’s gearbox, clutch or engine; however it covers lots of other things.
The MOT inspection checks that the body of the auto-mobile has no pointed edges that could cause injury and that there’s no excessive damage or corrosion on the bodywork. It makes sure that there’s no probability of petrol leaks, so the petrol cap is checked too.
The exhaust system is checked for leaks, emissions and levels of noise. That exhaust emissions allowed is partly dependant on the age of the vehicle, but they are very strict.
The condition of seats, seatbelts, doors and mirrors are all checked. They must all work properly and be in good condition. The boot, bonnet and all doors must open and shut properly and must not be able to spring open when the vehicle is moving.
The condition of tyres, brakes, lights, the horn, the windows, wipers, windscreen washers, steering and suspension are all checked as part of a MOT inspection. Every one of these components must be in full working order and not be in danger of failing in the near future.
If you require an MOT test, contact your local garage. All garages that perform the test must show the blue three triangles logo and must use the computer system to complete the test and produce the MOT certificate.
