Booking a car MOT check through Airtasker helps you stay compliant with MOT standards for a smooth-sailing process on the day itself. Expect Taskers to run a thorough inspection covering all important aspects, both interior and exterior, to ensure your car is roadworthy for your own and others’ safety. This service will identify any potential issues that could lead to an MOT failure and correct them in advance, helping you avoid costly re-tests.

Here is what you can expect from a car MOT service near you:

Exterior checks

Taskers will begin with an inspection of your car's exterior, focusing on everything from the doors to the lights. They will ensure doors close and lock securely, and check that signal lights are fully functional and bright enough for visibility even at nighttime or under poor weather. 

Tyres will also be checked for the correct tread depth and pressure. The mirrors and fuel cap will be checked to make sure there are no cracks or potential fuel leaks.

Under-the-bonnet checks

The next step is to lift the bonnet and check the operational components to see if it passes MOT standards. The engine, braking system, and steering and suspension systems will be examined for signs of wear, leakage, or loose components.

Taskers will make sure that emissions are within legal limits and that the exhaust system is intact with no damage or leaks. This step includes testing the catalytic converter to see if it functions properly. The car’s battery will be tested for voltage and charging, while wiring will be assessed for any worn or loose connections. The fuel system will also be examined for issues such as leaks or blocked fuel lines, and essential fluid levels like brake fluid, coolant, and windscreen washer fluid will be topped up as needed. If your fuel or air filters are clogged or worn, Taskers can readily replace these during the same car MOT check.

Cabin checks

Inside the vehicle, safety features are the most important aspect your Tasker will mind. Seat belts will be tested for proper retraction and locking to make sure they function correctly in the event of an accident. The front seats will be checked to see if they mount securely. The dashboard warning lights will also be inspected to make sure there are no deeper mechanical issues, such as airbag or ABS indicators staying lit even when unused.

The horn will also be tested to confirm that it is loud and clear enough for emergency situations. You can also expect testing of other interior components, like the windscreen wipers and demisters, since these are essential for clear visibility during poor weather. Testing these parts is crucial to guarantee your vehicle meets all safety standards before the car MOT check.
