The 5-Minute Pre-MOT Checklist: How to Avoid a "Silly" Fail
At G J Motors, we believe an MOT shouldn't be a guessing game. Since 1992, we’ve helped thousands of London drivers stay safe. We aren't here to just "fail" cars; we’re here to keep the SE16 community moving.
Many common failures are actually small, "do-it-yourself" fixes. Check these 5 essentials before bringing your vehicle to our Surrey Quays garage it could save you the time and hassle of a re-test!
- The Light Walk: Have a friend stand outside while you test your indicators, brake lights, and headlights. A blown bulb is one of the most common reasons for failure, but it's an easy fix!
- Screen Wash & Wipers: Top up your washer fluid. It sounds minor, but an empty bottle or a split wiper blade that smears the glass is an automatic failure under official DVSA rules.
- The 20p Tyre Test: Insert a 20p coin into your tyre grooves. If you can see the outer rim of the coin, your tread might be below the legal limit of 1.6mm.
- Clear the View: Remove sat-nav cradles or hanging air fresheners if they block the driver's view. Also, check for windscreen chips; anything larger than 10mm in the driver's direct line of sight can be a problem.
- Dash Warning Lights: Turn on your ignition. If the ABS, Airbag, or Engine Management lights stay on once the engine is running, your car will likely fail the inspection.
- The Horn: Give it a quick honk to make sure it’s working.
- umber Plates: Make sure they’re clean and the rear light is working.
- Seatbelts: Give them a sharp tug to ensure they lock and the buckles click securely.
Don’t worry if you’re unsure!
If you have concerns about a strange noise, a dashboard light, or your tyre condition, just pop in or give us a call. We offer friendly, honest advice to help you prepare. Our goal is to get you that pass certificate with as little stress as possible.
