  1. Components that Should be Prepared before the MOT Test How to pass an MOT test, is this your question? We have answered it openly by sharing which components need to be in good condition as per DVSA objectives. There are some of these which drivers take for granted but then face disappointment. So follow our guidance and prepare your vehicle in the best way. So let's get started Windscreen: This is a crucial part of our vehicle but drivers take it lightly to prepare it for MOT Corby. After this, they do not get approval to drive. These are inspected considering many aspects. There should not be any kind of crack on these, as it can be the reason for an accident. These should not obstruct the view of the driver, so according to DVSA, no sticker or paper should be pasted on them. If you feel that the screen edges are turning white then take professional advice as this is due to getting separated from the frame. This is not accepted at all in MOT. If you hear any unusual sound while driving then these require quick maintenance. Wipers: These are installed to clean the windscreen, so these are also included in the checking list. If you feel that the speed is too slow or it gets stuck in the middle, then get them diagnosed. The cracking on them results in MOT failure. If you leave a gap

  2. while cleaning these, then this is a sign of their poor condition. If you have to drive the car during rainfall, you can understand how important the role of wipers becomes for safety purposes. So, not just MOT, but if you ever have any doubts, then get them fixed. Suspension: These are inspected during MOT as they help keep other components in good condition. It is made up of many mechanisms, so the issue can be found in any of them. If you feel that they are not able to absorb shock properly after passing over a poor road surface, go to a garage on time. In faulty health, these can also cause premature damage to wheels, the steering system and tyres. Brakes: For safety purposes, these should operate optimally. It has multiple parts like rotors, pads, master cylinder, calipers and others. Even their fluid level needs to be topped up. Any fault found in these should not be ignored at all. Wear on them will indicate their weakness; make sure you replace them beforehand. When a serious issue develops in this system, it will be known when the dashboard warning lighting comes on. However, you should not be complacent on this point alone. By the way, there are many symptoms of brake misappropriation or failure; if you know about them, you will get a good idea as to whether you should take the car to the automobile workshop or not. Battery: If the battery is not able to generate or pass power properly, then there is an issue going on in it. This affects the activity of many parts, so it is also noted in MOT. Their terminals should not be dealt with, as this becomes the reason for their frequent discharge. Fluid leaking is also considered serious, so such a battery has to be replaced. Drivers who are confused about whether their battery can operate properly or not can know about its symptoms, which happen when it fails. Horn: The vehicle's horn must be roadworthy; only then is it allowed to drive. Its sound should not become a reason for noise-policing. Along with this, its volume is also tested because it should neither be too loud nor too slow. If the horn is taking time to blow, then get it repaired as well.

  3. Lighting: A car has so many lights internally and externally as well. These ensure a smooth, convenient, and safe experience. Whatever it is, no matter how small or big, all are included in the MOT testing list. For instance, headlights, tail lights, fog lights, even indicators. For this purpose, the dashboard is also checked as a signal of damage to critical parts is received through it. There should be neither any kind of crack in these nor any hidden, removed matter to directly impact road hazards. Even if the brightness emanating from these is low then these must be replaced before going to be part of the Mot Corby. There is an exemption as well; if there is any issue with the front and rear lights or they are not available then also a pass certificate can be obtained. However, the tester also issued an advisory note, in which they mention that the vehicle can only be driven in daylight, meaning before it gets dark. Lastly, I would say that you should not choose such lights which are against legal compliance. What About Other Inspections? Not only this, but many other components are also taken into consideration. Their names are as follows: ● Mirrors ● Bonnet Catch ● Seats ● Seatlets ● Wiring ● Doors and Windows ● Exhaust and Emissions ● Vehicle Registration Number ● Tyres ● Wheels ● Fuel System ● Steering ● Body and Structure
