Getting your vehicle ready for an MOT

It is important to always know the date when your MOT is due. Ideally you want to get your MOT done a bit early as after the date has passed you will no longer be allowed to drive it without a valid MOT. Having the MOT done on the same day it is due is risky if you need the car back soon as it may need work doing to it and then a retest should it fail, which may take longer than a day to complete.
Before taking your car in for an MOT there are a few things you can do yourself to try and make sure it doesn’t fail on anything simple. Checking that your washer level, oil and coolant levels are correct is something you should do often anyway but be sure to check and top up if required prior to your MOT. Check your tyres are in a good condition, have enough tread on them, no damage and are inflated correctly. You should also check your lights are all working as if not this can be a failure for something that is easily rectified.
You may wish to take your car to a garage that does MOT’s only and no repair work as some people feel that they are less likely to try and find things to fail it on as they will not make any money off repair work.
