Key MOT checks

We all know that our cars need an MOT each year to be able to keep driving it. But we often don’t know a lot about what kind of things are checked in this. The aim of the MOT is to make sure that all the important systems in the car are in top working condition and that’s why it can fail for things that don’t affect your ability to drive such as seatbelts or lights.

Some 30% of all MOT fails are due to lights and signals on the car. So it can be worth checking these before the test! Your horn also needs to work and the battery in the car must be in good condition with no leaks.

Other key areas of the test including the steering and suspension, the brakes and the tyres on the car. It also looks at the body of the car and the safety systems such as seatbelts inside. Then there’s the emissions test and the exhaust, something that is increasingly important on diesel cars.

MOT centres used

We use certified test centres to MOT our customer’s cars. Viking Motors can ensure your car gets a comprehensive MOT that satisfies the government’s standards and you get a certificate that confirms this. If we do find any problems during the test, we can offer advice on repairs and carry them out for you to keep the vehicle roadworthy and legal.
