What Is Checked During an MOT Test?
Many drivers think of the MOT as a hurdle, but it’s really a crucial annual safety check. The test is a comprehensive inspection of over 150 safety and emissions-related items to ensure your vehicle meets the minimum legal standards. Our certified testers at our Maidstone MOT station will meticulously inspect:
Boot / Tailgate
Inspect the boot or tailgate for secure opening and closing. Ensure hinges, latches, and locks are intact for proper safety.
Vehicle Structure
Check overall bodywork and structure for rust, cracks, or damage. Confirm it remains strong and safe for proper performance.
Seatbelts / SRS
Inspect seatbelts for wear and damage. Confirm airbags and safety restraint systems are fully functional for driver and passenger protection
Suspension
Examine suspension components for wear or damage. Ensure they absorb shocks properly, providing a smooth and stable ride.
Wipers / Washers
Check wipers and washers for correct operation. Ensure they clean the windscreen effectively to maintain visibility in all weather.
Windscreen
Inspect the windscreen for any cracks, chips, or damage that could impair the driver's vision. The windshield should be clean and free from obstructions.
Wiring & Battery
Examine the vehicle's electrical wiring for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. The battery should be secure, with no corrosion on the terminals.
Exhaust Emissions
Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and proper function. Ensure emissions meet environmental standards and reduce harmful gases.
Steering
Check the steering system for responsiveness and smooth operation. Ensure there is no excessive play, guaranteeing safe and controlled driving.
Doors
Inspect all doors for secure locking and smooth operation. Ensure seals, hinges, and mechanisms prevent leaks and maintain safety.
Mirrors
Ensure all mirrors are secure, adjustable, and free from damage. They should provide a clear, unobstructed view for safe driving.
Horn
The horn should work effectively, producing a clear, audible sound. It is essential for alerting other drivers of your presence in emergencies.
Brakes
Inspect brake pads, discs, and lines for wear or damage. Ensure braking remains responsive, efficient, and completely safe for driving.
Tyres & Wheels
Inspect tyres for tread depth, damage, and correct pressure. Confirm TPMS works properly to maintain safe road grip and handling.
Bonnet
Check bonnet for smooth opening and secure locking. Ensure hinges and latch mechanisms work correctly to guarantee safety.
Registration Plates
Inspect registration plates for clarity, security, and compliance. Ensure they display the correct vehicle number as per DVLA standards.
