Areas looked at during an MOT check include the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and under the vehicle.
The interior areas will cover the tester checking the following;
Seat belts, warning lights, switches such as headlamp and hazards, brakes, steering, speedometer, doors, mirrors and the horn.
The exterior areas;
Registration plates and the plate lamps, indicators, headlamps (including aim), fog lamps, reflectors, wheels and tyres, suspension components such as the shock absorbers, mirrors, wiper blades and fuel tank cap, doors, boot lid, bonnet and loading doors. Other items include towbars and the general condition of the vehicles body.
Under the bonnet;
The vehicle structure, braking system, suspension, exhaust system and fuel system and finally steering & power steering.
Other areas checked by the MOT centre include an emissions test which determines the level of air pollutants emitted from a vehicles exhaust. The reason of course is obvious, to help reduce pollution which is harmful to the environment and ourselves.

Look for any warning lights on your dash. We can diagnose the fault and discuss the repairs with you. Check your lights and horn and make sure they all work. Tyres must be within the 1.6mm tread depth and free from any bulges or other damage that will require a replacement tyre. Consult your vehicle manual which will show you how to check your fluid levels on the car, such as the power steering, engine oil and screen wash. Window wipers must be in working condition. Also check the windscreen glass is not cracked. The same applies to mirror glass.
Some things that people don’t actually think about but could cause an issue during it’s MOT test include clutter and rubbish. Nothing that obstructs your view such as a phone holder or a sat nav stuck onto the window directly in front of you. It’s best to remove these before the test.
Custom registration plates also need to adhere to the standards required, especially since they have recently brought in new changes to custom registration plates. You can read more here on the government website.
