Checks Covered Under An MOT Test

• Lights and signals: We check for the functioning of all your lights - headlights, indicators, brake lights and fog lights.
• Windscreen and wipers: We inspect the windscreen for any cracks and ensure the wipers clean the screen effectively.
• Tyres: We will check the tyres' tread depth - it should measure at least 1.6 mm.
• Brakes: We check if the braking system is working optimally or not.
• Horn: We test the horn to ensure it's functioning correctly.
• Exhaust: The exhaust system is checked to make sure there are no leaks or damages. The emissions are tested as well.

While these are some of the most common checks, several other assessments are a part of an MOT Leicester. We will provide you with a VT20 or VT30 certification based on our assessment.
