The primary purpose of this yearly check isto confirm that your vehicle conforms to road safety criteria by verifying theemission level, testing various types of lights in case they are functioningcorrectly etc. By the way, these tests do not inspect how well your vehicleruns or performs but confirm that it complies with several regulations set byGovernment to reduce environmental pollutionEvery year thousands of people pass their Citroen MOT Northampton testsuccessfully for many years without having any problems with their vehicles.However, many fail their first-ever MOT due to no big surprise - lack ofrequired information, minor repairs they knew nothing about or simply becausetheir car is too oldThat's why I decided to create this website - itwill give you all the necessary info for passing your MOT;test quickly and without any failures so that youdon't have to waste time searching for relevant information about the MOTcriteria every year againWhat should you do to pass your MOT?Assuming that there are quite a few things that can failyour MOT test, here are just general guidelines on preparing yourself mentallyand what steps you need to take before getting ready for an official test1);Do not ignore your vehicle just because it stillruns well. The Government made these tests mandatory to weed out poorly builtcars which can cause danger on the roads. So if your car or motorcycle is tooold, even if it still runs well, you should consider replacing it with a newermodel to avoid any future problems2);Many MOT failures are caused by minor problemswhich are easy to fix, but drivers forget about them over time. That's why youneed to check that all these little details are set before getting ready forthe test. For example, tyres must have good depth of tread, lights and brakesmust be functional etc. Also, make sure that the engine oil level is topped upto the required capacity.3);If your vehicle has minor damage like crackedlight lenses, you don't have to spend money on getting these repaired as longas they are visible outside and do not hinder your view. However, if theseproblems are caused by rust or faulty bodywork, you should consider gettingthem fixed before getting ready for the MOT test, as minor damage can make thevehicle fail the inspection4);Take a look at your tyres - they must have gooddepth of tread, be free from cuts and bulges. If their age is over five yearsold, replace them with new ones (you can find out how much is left on tyres bychecking the date code, which is usually written somewhere near themanufacturer's logo). Also, keep in mind that all four tyres must be identicaland suitable type.5);Ensure that headlights, brake lights, taillights, and number plate lights are working correctly without any damage6);Some vehicles (like motorcycles and cars overthree years old) must have an MOT certificate label attached to the windscreenor near other easily visible places. It does not matter that this label is displayedin a different language - you should follow the instructions on it regardlessof what they say; however, if your vehicle is new (less than seven months old),you will not need this label yet.7);Your vehicle must be clean inside and outwithout any pre-existing dirt, dust or any other stains. The only acceptabledifference between 'before' and 'after' pictures would be some tyre marks onthe floor, but even these should disappear after 10 minutes, so make sure toclean them before getting ready for an MOT test8);If your vehicle has a filthy engine, it may betested for emissions, but this is quite rare, so you should not worry about ittoo much. However, if some repairs were made recently and some oil spilt on theground, you need to clean the floor around your vehicle and not put anythingunder it (like ramps or bricks).9);Also, note that MOT testers will only look atparts that can be seen from outside your vehicle. So don't bother trying tohide any problems on your car - get all of them fixed before getting ready forthe MOT test, and everything will turn out alright in the end10)Finally, do not forget to inform yourself aboutMOT tests by reading the official website's FAQ section or searching Google formore information regarding MOT tests in your area. This way, you will avoid anyunpleasant situations on test day and be 100% sure that everything you havedone to prepare for the MOT Northampton test was correctRemember -;If something terrible happens toyour car, whether it is a crash or a breakdown, call a 24/7 emergency carrepair company." ]
