What Is Checked During an MOT Test?
At AutoVeto, every MOT follows the official DVSA checklist to ensure your vehicle is safe, compliant, and fully roadworthy. Here’s what we inspect in detail:
Body and Vehicle Structure
We examine your vehicle’s frame and body for corrosion, damage, or sharp edges that could pose a danger to passengers or pedestrians.
Exhaust Emissions
Our testers check that your car’s emissions meet legal standards according to its age and fuel type. Keeping emissions low helps your car pass its MOT, and reduces environmental impact.
Towbars
If fitted, towbars are checked for secure attachment and condition. We also verify that any 13-pin electrical socket is working correctly.
Tyres and Wheels
We assess tyre condition, tread depth, and pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) where applicable. Proper tyre condition is vital for safe handling and braking.
Brakes
Brake performance and condition are tested thoroughly, including ABS, ESC, and parking brake warning lights. We ensure your braking system functions efficiently and safely.
Seatbelts and Airbags
Seatbelts are inspected for wear, secure fitting, and locking function. Dashboard indicators for airbags and pretensioners are checked for correct operation.
Diesel Vehicles
Diesel cars undergo a smoke test to check emissions levels. We recommend regular maintenance, including fuel filter and timing belt checks, to prevent MOT issues.
Fuel System
We look for leaks, secure fittings, and a correctly sealing fuel cap to ensure your fuel system operates safely.
Doors and Bonnet
Doors must open and close securely. We also check bonnet latches to make sure they hold firmly while driving.
Exhaust System
Your exhaust is inspected for leaks, corrosion, and noise levels. Any catalytic converter fitted as standard must be present and functional.
Seats and Mirrors
We verify that seats are secure and adjustable, and mirrors are in good condition, providing adequate visibility for the driver.
Lights & Electrical Systems
We test all lights, headlights, brake lights, indicators, and fog lamps, to ensure they work correctly. We also check visible wiring and the battery for safety.
Steering & Suspension
Steering and suspension systems are tested for operation and integrity. We also inspect dashboard warnings for power steering and steering locks.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
All vehicles manufactured after August 1980 must display a clear VIN, which we verify during the MOT.
Wipers, Washers, and Windscreen
We ensure your wipers and washers are fully functional and that the windscreen is free of damage or cracks affecting visibility.

What Is an MOT Test?
The MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual inspection required by the DVSA to confirm your vehicle meets legal safety and environmental standards. All vehicles over three years old must pass an MOT test every 12 months to remain roadworthy.
During your MOT, a certified tester examines key components like:
- Brakes, tyres, and lights
- Steering and suspension
- Seatbelts and emissions
If your vehicle passes, you’ll receive a new MOT certificate valid for one year. If it fails, you’ll receive a list of faults to fix before a retest.
