A wide range of vehicles over 3 years of age are needed (by UK law) to have yearly security weigh or MOT in the interests of road safety and environmental standards. It is the obligation of the vehicle’s owners to reestablish MOT certificate or without it, they will not be able to drive their vehicle legitimately, or recharge their street fund permit. Without a customary security check you could be driving around in an auto that is a danger to you and different drivers. On the off chance that you had an accident, your insurance policy or the auto could be void.
Agenda of the things that should be analyzed:
- Registration plate,
- Lights
- Wipers and windshield,
- Horn,
- Seat belts and seats,
- Doors and mirrors,
- Wheels and tires,
- Brakes,
- Fuel framework.
On the off chance that they find an issue with any of these things, your auto will fail its MOT, and you won’t get your certificate until the issues are altered. Driving without a MOT certificate is illegal.

Lights
All of your lights (stopping and switching lights, and pointers) need to be the right shading and in great working request for your auto to pass through the MOT test. Clean them, and after that get somebody to attempt them while you walk around the car. On the off chance that they flash when tapped lightly with your hand,they likely need fixing into position or supplanting completely.

On the off chance that the vehicle stays at the test station for repair after failure then it can have a free incomplete re-test inside 10 working days after the first test has been completed. On the off chance that it is expelled from the premises for repair and afterward returned before the end of 10 working days it can have a retest a half of the first charge paid. In the event that the failed vehicle is taken away yet then taken back to the same test station and retested before the end of the following working day, no fee is charged.
