Is your car’s MOT Test due? The MOT test is part of standard safety regulation in the UK, and every car owner is required to conduct at least one MOT test once per year. If you haven’t had an MOT car test in over a year now, you will get into some serious trouble with the authorities as MOT tests are mandatory as stated by the UK law.
Before you take your car for an MOT test, here are a few essential things you need to know about it.
- Tyre check
The first thing your mechanic will check when you take your car for an MOT test is the tyres. If your mechanic thinks that the tyres need changing, you will need to change your tyres.
It is quite normal for tyres to wear out after a while. The condition of the streets and the weather contribute to the comfortable wear and tear of tyres.
- Get your car MOT tests done at a garage
Getting an MOT test done does not take long. It can be quickly done at one of the local garages in town. Just call up the garage ask them for the MOT testing Brighton details, and then drive your car to the garage when you are free.
- It is a mandate by law
The UK passed this law of mandatory MOT car tests in the early 1960s. If you violate this law, you will be charged a hefty fine of £1000. Apart from the fine, you will also be penalized for having invalid car insurance. Last but not least you won’t be allowed to file road tax.
- A thorough check-up of your car
The mechanic will conduct a thorough check-up of your car, both internal and external, but it will only be a visual check-up. After the check-up, you need to go to an auto repair shop to get your car repaired.
- The air conditioner is not included
The air conditioner of your car is not included in the MOT tests, since the MOT test is only concerned with the safety and driveability of your vehicle.
