Top Tips for Avoiding MOT Fails

Posted on 10/18/2019 by Krishna Santiago

Do you know that about 60% of faults on MOTs can be avoided by carrying out routine, simple maintenance and servicing like replacing tires, wipers, and bulbs? As a responsible driver, it is vital that you avoid MOT fails and save your money. It is unfortunate that about 40% of cars fail MOT tests during their first attempt. You do not have to wait for MOT to know whether your car requires maintenance. It is your responsibility to ensure that the car is well-maintained. These are tips to avoid MOT failure.

Check Your Lights

It is easy to check the car’s light bulbs. You only need to offer them a light tap to see whether they are damaged or loose. Moreover, you can check whether the colors match and right. The replacement bulbs are cheap and can be changed if you have a car handbook. Some garages can change the bulb for free.

Check Your Tires

About 10% of MOT fails are attributed to tire issues. In this case, you need to use a tread depth gauge to check the tire tread. Remember that the minimum tread should be 1.6mm. Also, check whether the tire pressures are correct, tires are of the same size, and they do not have cuts or signs of damage.

Check Your Brakes

It is estimated that one in 10 cars have issues with their braking system. You need to check your car’s braking system every day. If you hear strange noises or if the car pulls to one side, then you should contact the local garage immediately. Also, check the level of brake fluid. In this case, you should look at the low/high markings on the reservoir and ensure the brake fluid is topped up.

Driver’s View of the Road

It is easy to avoid this by carrying out some checks such as windscreen wipers and remove some stickers, air fresheners, and toys. If the windscreen wiper blades show signs of damage, you should replace them immediately. That is also the case if it has large chips that are likely to affect your view. Ensure the rear-view mirrors are in good condition and adjustable. Always top up the washer fluids and check whether they are working correctly before driving.
