An average MOT test takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
Nearly two in five MOT tests fail the first time. Yet often this is because of minor faults the owner could easily have fixed themselves before they paid for a test.
Here are some of the ways your car could fail an MOT.
1. Screenwash is not topped up.
This basic task takes minutes, so don’t be caught out by it.
2. The car was dirty or full of clutter.
Clear the mess from the boot and cabin and give the windows and mirrors a quick wipe.
3. A registration plate problem.
For example, the plate used the incorrect typeface/spacing or was dirty or missing altogether. If you have a personalised plate, make sure it follows DVLA rules.
4. Stickers on the windscreen blocking the driver’s view.
Make sure anything stuck to the windscreen like parking permits is outside the wipers’ sweep area.
5. Lit-up warning light on the dashboard.
The MOT has included lit-up warning lights since 2012. So make sure you know what lit-up car warning lights mean and, if you have, any sort out the underlying problem before the MOT.
