MOT  Check List
LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
FRONT AND REAR LAMPS
Usually covers fog or spot lamps.Make sure these are  working if fitted,and in good condition
HEAD LAMPS
If the waterproof seal is letting condensation into the headlamp it will fail if beam pattern is difused
HEAD LAMP AIM
The lamps must not face into oncoming traffic,instead they should aim towards the nearside kerb.Ideally they should be adjusted by your local garage ( Newton Motors)  we do this free of charge for you.
STOP LAMPS
These should both work ( the same brightness) and should come on when the pedal is pressed lightly
REAR REFLECTORS
If your car needs rear reflectors (i.e. if you have tinted rear clusters or no fog lamps) these should be in clear view and in good condition
INDICATORS & HAZZARD LAMPS
Always check hazzards & indicator work as either one or both could fail
GENERAL
SEAT BELTS: MOUNTINGS/CONDITION/OPERATION
The webbing on the seatbelt must not be frayed and should not be worn through at any point. On 5 door cars the rear belts have a tendency to catch in the doors check these
DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD
Windscreens must be free from cracks and large chips any furry dice or ornaments hung from the rear view mirror will fail the test so remove them.
HORN
Must be working
MIRRORS
You must have an internal rear view mirror,and at least one external one.Cracked mirrors will fail
REGISTRATION PLATES & VIN NUMBERS
The letters must be of standard legal typeface & with specified character spacing.They must be clearly visable also you should have plate lighting.Your car must also have an unmodified VIN plate usually located in the engine bay on the chassis somewhere
TYRES AND WHEELS
TYRE SIZE TYPE
Check that you dont have wrong size tyre for your wheel
TYRE CONDITION
Check for nails in the tread and also deep gouging in the tyre wall.Tread depth of less than 1.6mm at any point will mean failure
ROAD WHEELS
The wheels must not be buckled as this can cause a weak point for a tyre fitted to it.Also you must have a spare wheel ( that fits your car ) in the boot.
Hopefully these easy tips can help you and save you money as we at Newton Motors like to save you money because running a car is a costly enough game so phone Nweton Motors today for your MOT.
