What Is Checked During an MOT Test?
Our DVSA approved MOT testers carry out a full inspection to confirm your vehicle is safe, legal, and fit for the road. Every MOT check is done with care; we don’t just tick boxes, we make sure your car is truly roadworthy.
Body and Vehicle Structure
Our technicians inspect the body and structure of your vehicle for excessive corrosion, damage, or sharp edges that could pose a safety risk. This ensures your vehicle remains safe for all road users.
Exhaust Emissions
We verify that your vehicle’s exhaust emissions comply with the legal standards based on its age and fuel type. Ensuring low emissions not only helps you pass the MOT but also contributes to a cleaner environment.
Towbars
Towbars are checked for secure installation and good condition. We also ensure the 13-pin electrical socket is fully operational, and that the speedometer and engine mountings are functioning correctly.
Tyres and Wheels
Tyres and wheels are inspected for their condition, size, type, tread depth, and overall security. For vehicles registered after 2012, we also test the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for proper functionality.
Brakes
Brakes are inspected for efficiency, performance, and condition, including the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). Warning lights for ABS, ESC, and electronic park brakes are also checked.
Seatbelts and Airbags
Our MOT test ensures all seatbelts are securely fitted, functional, and in good condition. We also check dashboard warning lights for airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and load limiters to ensure they’re operating as intended.
Diesel Vehicles
Diesel vehicles undergo a smoke test to ensure compliance with emissions standards. To avoid potential issues, we recommend regular maintenance, including timely camshaft drive belt replacement.
Fuel System
The fuel system is examined for leaks, secure fittings, and a properly sealing fuel cap. Our team ensures everything is in optimal condition for safety and performance.
Doors and Bonnet
Doors are checked for secure latching and smooth operation, while the bonnet is inspected to confirm it closes securely.
Exhaust System
We ensure your exhaust system is secure, complete, and free from leaks or excessive noise. If a catalytic converter was fitted as standard, it must be present and functional.
Seats and Mirrors
Seats are inspected to ensure they’re securely fitted and adjustable where necessary. Mirrors are checked for condition, secure attachment, and compliance with minimum requirements.
Lights & Electrical Systems
All lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are tested for functionality, condition, and proper alignment. Electrical systems, including visible wiring and the battery, are also thoroughly checked.
Steering & Suspension
The steering and suspension systems are assessed for condition, operation, and inappropriate modifications. Dashboard warning lights for electronic power steering and steering locks are also inspected.
Vehicle Identification No.
Vehicles manufactured after August 1980 must display a single, clear VIN, which is verified during the MOT.
Wipers, Washers, and Windscreen
We check that wipers and washers are fully operational to ensure clear visibility. The windscreen is inspected for cracks or damage that might obstruct the driver’s view.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is checked during an MOT test?
An MOT is a thorough inspection of over 150 safety-related and emissions components. Key areas include the brakes, lights, steering and suspension, tyres and wheels, seatbelts, exhaust system, and emissions. It is a visual check and does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch, or gearbox.
When can I get my MOT done?
You can get an MOT up to one month (minus a day) before your current MOT certificate expires and still keep the same renewal date. For example, if your MOT expires on September 15th, you can have it tested any time from August 16th onwards.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
Don’t worry. We provide a clear, itemised failure sheet explaining why it failed and a transparent, no-obligation quote for any necessary repairs. We can often complete the work the same day to get you a pass certificate and back on the road quickly.
Do You Offer Same Day Appointments?
Yes, subject to availability. Call early and we’ll try to book a same-day MOT for you.
How long does the MOT test take?
The test itself typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes. You are welcome to wait in our comfortable reception area with free Wi-Fi while we complete the inspection.
Can I book an MOT for today?
Yes! Our online booking system shows live availability. If you see an open slot for today, you can book it instantly. Alternatively, give us a call, and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
Is There a Grace Period After Expiry?
No. Once your MOT expires, driving is only legal with a pre-booked MOT. Book early to avoid gaps and potential fines.
