MOT Test • MOT testing is required by law on all vehicles in the UK that are 3 years old or more. The annual inspection follows strict criteria set out by the DVSA that determines if your car is fit for purpose and in roadworthy condition. The MOT test covers a broad range of vehicle safety checks including lights, tyres, seatbelts and emissions and can only be carried out by a MOT garage with DVSA-approved examiners. • During the MOT test the nominated tester, a person accredited by the DVSA to assess your vehicle, will conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure the vehicle is in roadworthy condition. However, it is not the same as having your vehicle serviced and the MOT test does not check the general mechanical condition of the vehicle. Also, the assessment is based on the condition of the vehicle on the day.
Minor MOT Fault • A ‘minor’ fault would be considered as one where the problem does not cause an immediate safety risk but should be rectified soon. This is very similar to the existing system whereby an advisory is given to items that the driver should be aware of and may cause a future MOT failure if not addressed. A MOT certificate will still be issued if a vehicle only has minor faults.
MOT Test Changes Since 20 May 2018 • Major changes to the MOT test came into force on 20th May this year regarding the way faults and problems are classified when a vehicle is tested. From this date, all vehicle faults are recorded as either Minor, Major or Dangerous. All Class 3,4,5 and 7 vehicles are tested against the new criteria; this includes all cars, motorhomes, buses and goods vehicles up to 3,500kg
