What Is An MOT Test?
In the UK, vehicles over three years must be tested annually. This test ensures your vehicle satisfies the minimum safety and environmental standards. It comprises a range of assessments to make sure your vehicle is fit for the road and does not cause any harm to the environment.
Why Is An MOT Important?
Following are the reasons why opting for an MOT Stoke On Trent is essential:
- The checks ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive. They guarantee that brakes, lights, tyres, and suspension are all in good working order.
- Vehicles are tested to see if they meet the required environmental standards. A vehicle that does not meet the physical or emission standards will fail the test immediately.
- Your vehicle has to have a valid MOT certificate to be on the road. Failing to have an up-to-date MOT certificate can lead to hefty fines, points on your driving license, disqualification from driving, plus your car insurance might not be valid anymore.
- An MOT certificate is also beneficial when selling your vehicle.
What Does An MOT Test Involve?
Smart MOT & Service Centre performs comprehensive MOT tests, checking many parts of your vehicle. The main areas checked include:
- All external lights, headlights, brake lights, indicators, and hazard lights must be functioning correctly and in alignment.
- We inspect the condition of your vehicle's brake braking system to ensure you have adequate stopping power.
- The condition and tread depth of your car tyres are checked to see if they meet the legal requirements for safe driving.
- Visual inspection of the suspension system to ensure it is not damaged or worn out.
- The windscreen should have no cracks or damage that could affect its ability to see. To have clear visibility in adverse weather, wipers must be in working order.
- We check your car's exhaust for leaks or damage and conduct an emission test.
- The steering is checked to ensure there is no wear or malfunction.
- The battery, electrical wiring and connections are inspected for faults or problems that might impact the vehicle's performance.
These are only a few parts that are checked. You can find the complete list at our workshop or government information website.
Based on the outcome of the examination, we will provide you with a VT20 or VT30 certificate. The VT20 certificate indicates passing the test, while the VT30 is issued in case of an MOT failure.
