Preparing for Your MOT

A few simple checks before you arrive can save you time, money and a fail certificate.

Clean your vehicle

A clean car helps testers spot issues quickly — especially around lights, mirrors and number plates.

Check your lights

Walk around the car and test all bulbs: headlights (main & dipped), brake lights, indicators, fog and number plate lights.

Top up screen wash

An empty washer bottle is an instant MOT failure under modern testing rules.

Check tyre tread & pressure

Minimum legal tread is 1.6mm across the central 3/4 of the tyre. Inspect for cuts and bulges.

Test the horn & wipers

Wipers and washers must work properly; the horn must be loud, continuous and clearly audible.

Clear the dashboard warnings

Engine management, ABS, airbag and brake warning lights showing can fail the test.
