What is an MOT Test?

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual inspection required for vehicles over three years old. It covers critical safety features, including:

  • Brakes: Function and effectiveness.
  • Tyres: Tread depth, condition, and pressure.
  • Lights: Headlights, indicators, and brake lights.
  • Suspension: Springs, shock absorbers, and mountings.
  • Exhaust and Emissions: Ensuring your car is environmentally friendly.
