Your Radiator Cap Is Bad: How to Spot the Problem and What to Do About It You can purchase a new cap at an auto parts store or online. Be sure to select the correct cap for your make and model of car. When replacing the cap, make sure to tighten it securely to ensure a good seal. Check MOT History: It's important to note that a faulty radiator cap can cause problems during a vehicle's MOT (Ministry of Transport) test. The MOT test is an annual safety inspection required for all vehicles over three years old in the UK. The test includes a check of the cooling system, and if there are any issues with the radiator cap, the vehicle may fail the test. To avoid this, it's a good idea to check your car's MOT history before taking it in for the test. You can do this online using the UK government's MOT history check.
