Plate change day 2019 is almost here

If you brought your car in March 3 years ago (you will have a 16 in your number plate) your first MOT will soon be due.

Before you take the car in for an MOT perform a few simple checks before you go to save your car failing the test

Check your brake fluid while the car is cold and on a flat surface

Check that all your mirrors are clean and in good condition

Check your warning lights, ABS and TPMS lights that do not go out are a failure

Check your tyres for tread and damage. More details can be found here on how to check your tyres

Check your lights are working

Check the horn works

Check your oil level, if the engine does not have enough oil the emission test cannot be performed

Check your windscreen for chips and cracks. If you are in doubt as to the level of damage it would be best to get an expert to look at it, also make sure your windscreen washer bottle has fluid.

Check that all your windows are clean and also that the number plates have any dirt washed off

Check your wiper blades have not perished

Hopefully you will then get through the MOT without a failure
