[ "MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT- A NECESSARY SERVICE TO KEEP YOUR VEHICLE ROADWORTHYAn MOT is a yearly inspection of your vehicle which is done to assure that your vehicle is legal to be driven on the road, i.e. it is legally drivable. It is also done to ensure that your vehicle comes across the environmental and exhaust emissions standards. For vehicles, who survived three years or more have to get this test, as it is a mandatory service to be performed every year, annuallyHow to get the appointment?You can book an appointment with an auhtorised centre. They will schedule the test for you. The garages and service centres that provide MOT service are MOT approved test centres and there are almost around twenty-one thousand across the UK. To prove their authenticity, the garages and centres exhibit a blue sign along with three white triangles on site. The test that MOT proposes is to deduce if your vehicle is safe to survive on the road.What components are checked?An APK Keuring Utrecht includes your vehicle's front, rear, fog, brake, indicator, registration plate lights, and rear reflector. All these should be rightly placed and secure. They should not be covered and should be in a favourable condition. All these must show the right colour. They must not be badly affected by the functioning of other lights. The pair of lights should radiate light of the same colour, shape and sizeThe aim of the headlights should be below the horizontal so that it does not confuse the other people driving aroundThe vehicle horn should radiate a constant sound, a sound that is loud enough to be heard by anyone on the roadThe battery of your vehicle should be protected with no leaking signs of electrolytes. The wiring should be unharmed, protected and attached properlyThe electrical socket should be in a favourable condition and should have a functioning trailer brake, rear fog lights and parking indicators.The steering wheel of your car should be in a decent situation and be safe. The MOT tester will check your steering components for damage and deteriorationShock absorbers and suspension components will be examined for extra corrosion, fractures and contortionThe condition of the brakes, levers and pedals should be good, and the warning lights must be properly functioningTyres and other componentsThe required tread depth should be at least 1.6 mm and the tyre will be examined for cuts in a surplus of 25 mm, chunks, bumps, bulges, wear and tear etc. For the vehicle that has run-flat tyres, the warning lights must be properly functioning. The condition of the road wheels must be in decent condition. All the seatbelts should be of the right length and should be properly and smoothly functioning.Furthermore, the body, structure in and out, bonnet seats and doors are a part of the MOT checklist. All the elements of your vehicle should be free from corrosion and should not have any sharp points that might cause harm to anyone. The registration plate should be fixed to both the front and rear sides of the car. The alphabets and digits must be clear enough for a person to read from far away. The characters should be in a way that no one misreads them. The exhaust system must be protected and there should be no leaks. The rearview and wing mirror should be protected and free from cracks, the suitable view should be provided by them. The wipers and washers should also work and clean smoothly.The above-mentioned aspects are checked in an APK Keuring Utrecht and all those things should be maintained to avoid failing the test. There are a few things that you can perform, to avoid an MOT failure. Mostly, a vehicle fails an MOT test due to very basic reasons that can be easily fixed with a helping hand. These include screen wash not topped up, the registration plate issue, lit-up warning dashboard light, stickers on the front glass hindering the driver's view etc. These small activities, if performed perfectly, can save you from failing the test. Hence, before going for an MOT test, check for everything. See if there's anything wrong and get it repaired or serviced by a mechanic." ]
