What Does an MOT Test Include?
Here at L&J Vehicle Specialist, we carry out every MOT to the highest DVSA standard, giving you complete confidence that your vehicle is safe, roadworthy, and legally compliant.
During your MOT, our qualified technicians will thoroughly inspect a range of components on your vehicle, including:
- Lights and signalling — headlights, brake lights, indicators, and fog lights
- Brakes — condition, performance, and brake fluid levels
- Tyres — tread depth (minimum 1.6mm), condition, and pressure
- Steering and suspension — play, condition, and performance
- Exhaust system and emissions — leaks, noise, and exhaust emissions levels
- Windscreen, wipers, and washers — visibility and condition
- Seatbelts — condition and operation
- Horn — function and compliance
- Body and structure — excessive corrosion or damage in key areas
- Fuel system — checked for leaks
It’s worth knowing that an MOT isn’t the same as a full service — it doesn’t cover the condition of your engine, clutch, or gearbox. If you’d like a more complete picture of your vehicle’s health, we’d love to help with one of our car servicing packages or a free vehicle health check.
