[ "MOT Check | The Most Complete MOT ChecklistIf you wish to save time, hassle, and money with your van or car, you should keep reading this article, where we explain a few simple checks you can do before your next MOT to help your car pass this yearly test without major issues.Use these easy and quick checks on your own just some days before your;MOT test if your car needs some reparations.We are going to cover some common failures and certain areas that you might not have yet considered. We hope this will help you navigate through this test.1. MOT Indicator and Lights requirementsShattered lights are one main reason why many vehicles fail their examination, with nearly one in every five vehicles having issues with indicators and lights.Thankfully, it would help if you worried too much as inspecting your cars lights is pretty simple:First, you need to switch on the sidelights, indicators, and headlights (dipped and full beam) one at a time. Make sure to check out the rear plate number, fog, brake, and reversing lights. Ask someone to help you verify that all the rear lights work properly, or you can also position your vehicle against a reflecting surface and verify that they are all working.While it may be obvious, be sure you check that the lights are in perfect condition and are not damaged or loose, so check out the lenses, give them some light taps and ensure they are well-secured.Finally, you will have to check that each bulb has the correct colour because the amber and red paint will eventually fade from painted bulbs.If you locate a broken or damaged bulb, you do not necessarily need to get it to a repair shop, as you can easily change it for yourself by reviewing your owners manual. But if you do not feel confident enough, you can change the bulbs at your nearest garage or at the same place where your vehicle is getting its MOT.2.

You do not necessarily need to go through a particular test routine; simply watch for a few of the checks we have mentioned here in typical everyday driving, and watch out for any of the following signs:If your brake pedal feels spongy or soft; if you need to press your brake pedal more than you used to; if you notice any unusual sounds; if your vehicle pulls strongly to your side whenever you are trying to use the brakes; if your brakes are just not effective anymore in halting your vehicle, this suggests there is an issue that needs immediate care before taking your MOT Loughborough test.Also, you need to check that the brake fluid is full; you can find its location on your manual.3. MOT Tyre RegulationsAll your tyres must be correctly inflated.The minimum tread depth for your tyre is at least one millimetre; anything less than that will cause you to fail the MOT.Plus, to pass your MOT, all your tyres must be in good shape, with no splits, bulges, cuts or any other indications of damage.4. MOT License Plate RulesOne this that is sometimes easy to ignore is the overall condition of your registration plates. However, if you want to approve the MOT, they have to be readable and clean" ]
