MOT Test - Good to know...
You are required by law to keep your car in a roadworthy condition if you use the car on the road. An MOT test checks that the vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. If your car is more than 3 years old, you are required to do an MOT test each year. Without a valid MOT, your car insurance and road tax get invalidated.
Important to note: Although the MOT test contains many checks, it is still non-intrusive, hence MOT testers are not permitted to adjust, clean, remove and strip items such as wheels to check brakes or components hidden by engine covers, etc.
WE TEST VEHICLES AS THEY ARE PRESENTED AND THE TEST IS ONLY A SNAPSHOT OF THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT IN TIME. AFTER THE TEST YOU MUST STILL ENSURE THE CAR REMAINS LEGAL AND ROADWORTHY!
The test is not a replacement for the maintenance of other important items such as servicing, brake fluid checks, etc. Further, even though your car may pass its MOT for certain criteria, you still have to ensure it is road legal in other respects such as window tints, etc
