Congratulations on passing your driving test and buying your first car! This is an exciting time, but it’s also a bit daunting. There’s a lot to learn about car ownership, including how to maintain your vehicle and keep it roadworthy.
One of the most important things you need to do is get your car MOT tested every year. This is a legal requirement for all vehicles over three years old, and it helps to ensure that your car is safe to drive.
What to expect at an MOT test
The MOT test is a comprehensive check of your car’s safety and environmental performance. It covers a wide range of areas, including:
The test is carried out by a qualified MOT tester at a registered MOT centre. The tester will start by visually inspecting your car, and then they will use a variety of tools and equipment to check the different components.
If your car fails its MOT test
If your car fails its MOT test, the tester will give you a list of the items that need to be repaired or replaced in order for the car to pass. You have 28 days to get the repairs done and then take your car back for a retest. The retest is free, but you will need to pay for any repairs that are needed.
The most common reasons for MOT failure
The most common reasons for MOT failure are:
Troubleshooting brake problems
If your car fails its MOT test because of brake problems, the tester will be able to tell you what the specific problem is. Common brake problems include:
What to do if your car needs brake repairs
If your car needs brake repairs, it is important to take it to a qualified mechanic. Brakes are a vital safety feature, so it is important to make sure that they are repaired to a high standard.
Wheel alignment
Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels so that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Correct wheel alignment is important for a number of reasons, including:
If your car’s wheels are out of alignment, the tester will be able to adjust them for you.
The garage pit
The garage pit is a deep hole in the floor of the garage. It is used to allow mechanics to work on the underside of cars.
Pneumatic lifts
Pneumatic lifts are used to raise cars into the air so that mechanics can work on them.
How the brakes are checked
The tester will check your brakes by using a brake tester machine. The machine will measure the braking force of each wheel. The tester will also check the condition of your brake pads and shoes, and they will make sure that there are no leaks in the brake system.
Engine diagnostic hook ups
The tester may use an engine diagnostic tool to check your car’s engine and emissions system. The tool will scan your car’s computer for any fault codes.
Oil change
An oil change is not part of the MOT test, but it is a good idea to have your oil changed every year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Old oil can break down and damage your engine, so it is important to change it regularly.

We were contemplating moving across to Parque flooring in the busy dining room – however Andy and Kaz at CrawfordsPRC have done such a great job cleaning my carpets that I shall be putting it off for the foreseeable future. You can see for yourselves the lovely condition the carpets are in, not a stain or spot of dirt.
