What Usually Causes an MOT Failure?

Most MOT failures come down to simple issues that are quickly and cheaply fixed. Some of the most common failures include:

  • Faulty bulbs
  • Tyre tread below 1.6mm
  • Empty windscreen washer fluid.

You can check out all that’s tested using the DVSA’s MOT inspection check list. Giving your car a quick visual inspection can help to ensure that it passes first time around.

If you know that your vehicle requires work to pass its MOT, we’ll happily provide you with a quotation for this prior to the test, as well as offering advice on elements that you may not be so sure about.

How Often is an MOT Test Needed?

An MOT is needed every 12 months on vehicles that are older than three years. This test must be undertaken at a recognised MOT test centre (you can identify these by the MOT logo which should be displayed somewhere at the garage – which consists of three triangles on blue backing).

What Should You do if Your MOT has Expired?

First of all, you should NOT drive freely without an MOT – this is against the law. The only exception to this rule is where you have a pre-booked appointment for your MOT testing – the law permits you to drive to the MOT test centre and to the test centre only.

Why is an MOT Important?

Thanks to modern engineering standards, passing your MOT should be a formality. But there is always a chance that something could have been damaged without you realising it. The official MOT test is a useful annual safety check. Smile Servicing are the ideal people you can trust to take care of your vehicle’s MOT testing and any repair work.

Once your vehicle has been tested you will receive the official VT20 MOT certificate. This is your receipt for the MOT test and shows the information that will be held on the MOT database. If your vehicle should require any recommended work, this will be listed on the advisory notice of the VT32 document.
