[ "7 unlikely grounds you won't fail the;MOT TestUndoubtedly, a cracked windscreen would cause your;MOT Billingshurst;to failif something as seemingly unimportant as a blown bulb could. Yes, but notalways. Your car might pass its MOT, but you might get a note letting you knowabout problems that will need to be secure as soon as possible.Here, we'll talk about some of the strangest things that canstill get you through your MOT.1. Cracks in the windshieldThe MOT will look for chips or cracks in your car's windshield,but you can get by with a small amount of damage.Chips or cracks in the line of sight of the driver that is lessthan 10mm long won't cause your car to fail.Also, there won't be any cracks smaller than 40mm in the rest ofthe area that the windshield wipers clean.Still, cracks should always be set, no matter how small theyare, because they could grow into something bigger in the future.2. Worn brake padsOver time, brake pads wear out because they are cast off. It canbe risky when the lining begins to disintegrate because it will reduce brakingeffectiveness.But you won't get a fail unless the brake pads are shabby downto less than 1.5 mm, which is the lowest level that is still okay.It's more probable that you will receive an alert warning thatthey need to unergo replacement;as soon as possible if they are gettingclose to the limit but haven't yet fallen below it.Most mechanics still say that brake pads should undergo alterationwhen the friction material has worn down to 3 mm.A set of brake pads usually lasts about 50,000 miles, but thatcan change depending on where you drive and how many people are usually in yourcar.3. Tyres that are worn outCar tyres need to have enough grip for drivers to be able tohandle their cars well.Because of this, the law says that the tread depth must be atleast 1.6 mm. Even if your car's tyres are pretty worn, they will still passthe MOT if they are above this limit.Even though they might still be legal, you should replace yourtyres before they reach the legal limit.Ideally, they should be replaced when they get to 3 mm, becausea tyre's ability to stop drops a lot after that.For a good grip on wet roads, you need enough tread depth. Thetread pattern helps to pull water out from between the tyre and the roadsurface so you don't skid.4. A hole in the tailpipeAn MOT will fail exhausts only if there is a big leak or theemissions are unsafe.A warning note would say that a small leak or some corrosioncould be a problem in the future, but it would pass the test.Your car should pass the test as long as there isn't a big leakof exhaust gases or a missing part of the catalytic converter or dieselparticulate filter.If the exhaust has a hole in it, you must proceed as though areplacement exhaust would soon need to be installed.5. Leak of coolantYou might be bowl over to find out that fluid leaks like enginecoolant and windshield wash aren't considered failures.In accordance with DVSA regulations, a vehicle won't fail theMOT unless there are many breaks that are all leaking fluid at a similar rate,or if a leak results in a pool of fluid measuring more than 75mm diameter onthe ground within five minutes.6. Wing or bumper with dentsDuring the MOT test, the bodywork is beheld, but it onlymatters if there is a lot of rust, sharp edges, or damage in certain places.A dent in the wing won't make your car fail as long as the dooropens and closes properly.Both the inside and outside of the front doors should be able toopen, and the back doors will need to be opened to get to the back seatbelts,which are also tested in the MOT.A bumper with dents will also pass the test, as long as it isnot dangerous.7. The gearbox is making a rumbling soundYou might get away with believing that any weird noises your carmade would cause it to fail its MOT test. But the test doesn't really look atthe condition of the gearbox, clutch, or engine (other than emissions), so agrowling sound coming from the gearbox wouldn't affect it.Technically, it will get you through your;MOT Billingshurst, but you shouldalways have a professional mechanic look into any strange sounds.A car should run smoothly and not make any rumbling sounds,which could mean there's a serious problem with the transmission.
