[ "EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MOT TEST;We cherish our vehicle with proper fitting and maintenance and everything possible. And why shouldn't we do that, after all, they offer us the comfort to drive from one place to another without sweating. Needless to say, cars and other transportation have made our lives so much easier. Earlier we had to walk to cover the distance, sometime it would take days to reach their destination. And now we can just turn on the engine and are ready to go. Cars are much more easier and convenient than other transportation. There is no sharing, and you can enjoy your music, air conditioning temperature and speed of the vehicle. That is why car maintenance services and MOT tests are importantHow do you differentiate between car service and MOT?You must think, you already know about car maintenance service but what is this MOT test and why do we need it. Both car maintenance service and MOT tests serve the same purpose but they are quite different from one another in some sense. You see, car maintenance service is necessary after every 6, 12 or 24 months depending upon the mileage of your vehicle. If you ignore maintenance service the damage might spread to other parts of the vehicle. The car maintenance service checks for every possible issue with your vehicle and rectifies it immediately. It also includes changing the oils and filter of the vehicleHowever, the MOT test is a bit different from the car maintenance service. An MOT test is an annual test which ensures the worthiness of your vehicle on road. Just like car maintenance services they also inspect your vehicle for any errors, including the brakes, smoke emission, oils, filter etc. But the MOT test is just a test that does not include the repair of the problems. If you fail the MOT test you have to take another test after resolving your issues. Unlike, car maintenance services, the MOT test is a mandatory test by the UK government. You might have to face severe consequences if you do not take an MOT testWhat does the MOT check include?Exhaust and emissions: it should not throw smoke more than necessary which depends on the model of the vehicle and its limitationsBrakes: the brakes are an important component of a vehicle that allows you to slop or slow down. That is why the brakes system undergoes inspection which ensures they arent worn out and rust-free. The brakes should also stop in a straight line and must be in harmony with other components of the system.Wheels and tyres: the tyres also need to have proper inflation, tread depth and no cracks or bruises so they can better performance throughout the journey. In addition to that, any of these issues can also lead to accidents. That is why they should be in good condition to pass the MOT test.The bodywork: there shouldn't be any sharp edges or scratches on the vehicle that can catch moisture and spread rust to other parts of the vehicleThe seats and seatbelt: clip and locking mechanism should lock and open without any interference and be in proper working conditionsWindows and mirrors: the windows and mirrors should not have any cracks in them. Only a 10mm crack within the area covered by the windscreen wipers is exempt and 40mm deep in other areasSteering: the steering should not have excessive free handling or rust. Any other issue with it can also lead to mishappening and you can fail your MOT test.Lights: all the lights including tail lights, indicators, headlights, sidelights, brake lights and rear red fog lights must be working properly. In addition to that, the headlight also needs proper alignment so you can pass the MOT test and have a safe drive even at night.The tow bar: it is an additional component that allows the vehicle to pull a trailer, caravan etc. If you have a tow bar, make sure it is secure and corrosion-free.The horn: the horn must be audible to the person sitting in another vehicle and must not play multiple notes.Doors and openings: all the openings must open and shut properly from the inside and outside.
