MOT Check

Checking your car for MOT is really simple, drive your car to the garage, test the brakes of your vehicle (if you have a brake dynamometer that is) then check all of your lights from the outside, first park lights, brake lights etc. test the horn on your car to see if it works, check that instrument warning lights are off after ignition, try to erase the faultmemory with a tester. Last but not least take an emission test to see if emission values are all okay.

Next drive the car to a car lift, and raise the car to about the height of your chest. Check that tire surfaces are okay (atleast 1.6mm on summer tier tires) and check that wheel bearings arent loose in any direction. Next check the fenders for rust, if they have none they are okay.

Then raise the car above your head so you can get under it. First you should check that exhaust system, no holes or such in it. Next check every hoses and fluid pipes for leaks, if they have none then they are okay. Check for oil leaks and then move to checking that any joints have no loose on them. Check that tie rods rubbers are intact, no holes or rips in them. Then check that tie rods isnt loose. Then check the chassis for any rust, holes etc. After that you can lower the car and if everything is okay you should be fine for MOT
