Quick MOT checks before test?

buckman

I know there was a post on MOT checks, but just wanted a quick run through on everything I can do my end before the test

I have just inflated tyres, had oil, water, lights, windscreen wash check and all fine..

Anything else to get me through??

OK..
Did you check the tread on the tyres?
Have you checked the horn?
Check the pedal rubbers are there.
Check the seatbelts all work and that they're not frayed.

I could talk you through a full MOT but it depends on whether you want to jack the car up and get underneath it or not.

The BBC got info on MOT failure rates.
There is a link to a huge excel spreadsheet half way down the page that will let you see how each make & model & year performed in MOT tests in 2007.

Might help if you can find your car on there.
