Top Car Servicing and MOT related questions
Yes, it’s a good idea to have your car serviced before you need it subjected to its MOT, but you should have the MOT checklist handy to know which parts of your car and what the standards are for compliance. If you have your car serviced without knowing what the MOT requires, you could end up wasting time and money on repairs that could be unnecessary or ignored.
If you’ve had your new car for at least 3 years, it is due for a MOT. Otherwise, it depends on your vehicle registration number. You may enquire about your MOT status online at www.gov.uk.
No, although a certain level of expertise and experience are necessary to make checks and know what issues to look for and how to fix them. Taskers should also be aware of the sort of issues and standards MOT will be focused on, so they can make the needed repairs and make your car roadworthy according to their standards.Â
It’s possible for a car to pass its MOT testing, as long as it has been maintained properly, hasn’t sustained any serious damage or damage that can lessen its chances of passing. The problem without having your car have a service prior to its MOT is that you leave a lot to chance, and your car could fail its MOT for the most trivial of issues that can easily be avoided or fixed.Â

What do Car MOT services include?
As the MOT is a legal requirement that requires citizens to keep their cars roadworthy for theirs and the safety of other motorists and pedestrians, a car MOT service is designed to ensure MOT compliance.

Taskers will inspect and make the necessary repairs or recommendations for repairs of the exteriors. These include checking the doors and making any needed repairs to ensure they lock securely. Exterior lamps and signal lights will be checked for consistent brightness. The fuel cap will be inspected for proper placement and secure locking.
Both the boot and bonnet will be checked to ensure they likewise remain secure when closed and locked. The side mirrors must provide good visibility, and tyres will be inspected for the right tread depth, pressure levels and have the proper alignment.
Under-the-Bonnet Checks
For this part of the service, taskers will do a meticulous inspection of the engine, steering, braking and other operational components to enable your motor to pass MOT standards. This includes the following processes:
Making sure that the emissions are within acceptable levels and the exhaust system is secure, complete, not leaking and effectively reduces noiseBrakes will be checked to ascertain they are in the proper working order. The fuel system will be inspected for leaks and that the fuel cap seals and gets on securelySteering and suspension systems will be checked for wear and ensure they are in good conditionTaskers will also top up all operational fluids, such as brake fluid, coolant, windscreen washer fluid, power steering and transmission fluid fuel and air filters will be replaced as necessary the car’s battery and wiring will be checked for issues and ensure that the starter motor and alternator are in good working conditioner pipes will be inspected for damage or corrosion bonnet will be checked to ensure it closes properlyÂ
