5 Quick Tips to Pass Your MOT
As your MOT test creeps closer every year, it can be
daunting time knowing your vehicle may fail. It’s important your car goes
through an MOT test to ensure it meets the minimum standards for environment
and road safety. We’ve put together 5 quick and easy tips that you can carry
out to help ensure you pass your MOT.
1. Give Your Car a
Clean
Giving your car a thorough clean inside and out will help to give the
impression that your car is well cared for. Although a dirty car won’t be the
reason you fail your MOT test, a spotless car could potentially influence the
mechanics into giving your car the thumbs-up.
2. Drive Carefully
It’s important that between MOT tests you look at the way you’re driving.
Could you decrease your speeds occasionally? It could help make a difference to
the overall impact of your car, as well as helping your tyres last longer!
3. Service Your Car
Regularly servicing your car could be the difference between an MOT pass
and fail. A reliable mechanic will be able to recognise any problems that can
be corrected prior to your MOT, potentially being the cheaper alternative, too.
4. Do Frequent Checks
Give your car some TLC by remembering to do frequent checks on your car as
much as possible, helping to keep it at its best condition at all times. This
could, potentially, be the reason you pass your MOT test in the future.
5. Remember these 5
Things
Take into account these five things when checking over your car: lights,
tyres, brakes, mirrors and seat belts. You could fail on any of these five
things, but they can all be fixed at home by yourself if you realise they’re
broken or working incorrectly.
It’s a sensible decision to spend some time going over your
vehicle prior to a MOT test. If you’d like your car to be serviced to identify
any issues, get in touch with a member of the Express Services team via our Contact page or give
