Are you driving the same car for three years or more? You will have better peace of mind by taking it to a reputable garage for an MOT test. It is a document certifying that your vehicle is safe for driving purposes and in good condition. It is a compulsory annual test for vehicles in the UK during which a mechanic minutely checks every vital component of your car. He will ensure that they meet the legal standards. If your car has not undergone the test yet because you still have some queries regarding the service, approach an experienced mechanic, and you can get all your queries answered.
Booking An MOT Test? The Common Queries Have Been Answered Below
“How Can I Assess The Fault?”
There are generally three types of faults, i.e., major, minor and dangerous. Even if there is a minor fault in your vehicle, which has been stated in the certificate, your vehicle is safe for driving purposes. You should deal with a fault immediately if it has been termed as significant or dangerous.
“Are MOT Necessary For Diesel Cars Also?”
Since the smoke emitted by diesel cars are fairly dangerous, your car might fail the test if the engine starts emitting smoke the moment it is started. Even the DPF or diesel particulate filter fitted in your vehicle will be assessed minutely. If you have already removed them, let your mechanic know the exact reason.
“What Will Happen If My Car Fails The Test?”
You don’t have to worry if your car has failed the MOT test. The company carrying out the test will provide you with a list of things which you need to fix. Just change the faulty parts and ensure that the car is fault-free before undergoing the test again. You don’t have to pay for the test if you do it within ten days.
“Do I Need To Prepare For The Test?”
You don’t have to stress a lot about preparing your vehicle before the test. Just make sure that the pressure in the tyres is sufficient. The tyres should also be correctly aligned, and their tread depth should be more than 1.6mm.
