MOT Preparation Guides

Get your car ready for its MOT test. Know what the testers check, what commonly fails, and how to fix it before you book.

All cars over three years old in the UK must pass an annual MOT test to confirm they meet minimum road safety and environmental standards. Many common MOT failures are quick and cheap to fix yourself before the test, a blown bulb, worn wiper blades, or a tyre close to the legal 1.6mm limit can all cause a fail. Our guides help you identify and sort issues before you book, saving you the cost of a retest.
