What is an MOT? 

 

The MOT test is an essential examination for your vehicle, especially after your vehicle has crossed three years. Ensuring that your vehicle’s safety, emissions and roadworthiness are meeting the set standards, the MOT is important for every vehicle owner in the UK. The Ministry of Transport, which is the expanded form of the abbreviation MOT, is the department responsible for this test. Now known as the Department of Transport, it is responsible for controlling the transport network of the state, as well as managing vehicle emissions, the future of transport, and other transport-related civil and security matters. 

Therefore, it is safe to say that the MOT test is an extensive inspection. It tests around 20 parts and components of your vehicle. It also includes the interior and the exterior parts. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issues you a certificate if your vehicle passes the MOT test. It is commonly called the VT 20 certificate. This certificate lasts for 12 months. Thus, the MOT is an annual test. If you have an automobile in the UK, you ought to have the MOT certificate. So you can avoid getting legally fined or punished. 

The MOT is a government-specified comprehensive test. Therefore, the vehicle parts that are tested during an MOT are also specific and include the following: 

• Bonnet 
• Body, vehicle structure, and general items. 
• Exhaust emissions and exhaust system
• Brakes System
• Fuel system
• Towbars
• Seats and seatbelts
• Doors and mirrors
• Tyres and wheels
• Lights and horns
• Windscreen, including wipers and washers
• Steering and suspension
• Registration plates
• Vehicle Identification Number
• Electrical wiring and battery. 

 

The engine, clutch, or gearbox of your vehicle, however, is not examined during an MOT test. 

 

How do I avoid failing the MOT? 

The MOT test is a rigorous check of almost every system and component of your vehicle. But the question often arises: How do I stop my vehicle from failing the MOT? Our centre and our team of experienced testers have listed some points that could help you to avoid failing your MOT in Wimbledon. 

 

• Dirty Vehicle: A vehicle full of dirt or garbage not only feels inconvenient for driving but also is a common reason for failing the MOT. Ensure that your cabin and boot are clean and your mirrors are wiped. 
• Dashboard warning lights: A lit-up warning light on your dashboard is an indicator that something is wrong with your vehicle. This might result in an MOT failure, so get it checked before going for your next MOT. 
• Registration Plate: Personalising your registration plate might seem like an interesting idea for a vehicle customisation, but if it is not following the DVLA rules, you might find yourself in a bind. The MOT test inspects your registration plate for any incorrect format, typeface, and spacing. A dirty plate or a missing one is also a reason for failing the MOT. 
• Windscreen Stickers: Before taking your vehicle for its MOT, carefully observe the windscreen. Is there any sticker or other object blocking the driver’s view? If there is, we recommend cleaning them out so that nothing is stuck to the windscreen within the wiper’s sweep area. 
• Regular Services: Anyone would want to avoid getting caught up in the overwhelming cycle of tests and retests during the MOT. This is why we recommend getting your vehicle serviced regularly. With consistent services, our team can diagnose small faults early. Then we solve them before they become major hazards. This prevents you from failing your MOT test.
