What Is Checked During an MOT Test?
Every AutoVeto MOT test in Croydon follows the official DVSA checklist to guarantee your vehicle’s roadworthiness and compliance. Here’s what our technicians carefully inspect:
Body and Vehicle Structure
We check the frame and chassis for corrosion, sharp edges, or damage that could compromise safety.
Exhaust Emissions
Our testers ensure your car’s emissions meet legal standards. This keeps your car eco-friendly and ensures a pass on the emission test.
Towbars
If fitted, we inspect the towbar’s condition and electrical connections to ensure they are secure and working properly.
Tyres and Wheels
We check tyre tread depth, condition, and pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to ensure safe braking and grip.
Brakes
Our technicians test brake efficiency, condition, and responsiveness, including systems like ABS and ESC.
Seatbelts and Airbags
We inspect seatbelts for wear and locking function. Warning lights for airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are checked.
Diesel Vehicles
Diesel cars undergo a smoke and emissions test to confirm compliance. Regular maintenance helps prevent MOT failures.
Fuel System
We ensure there are no leaks, that fittings are secure, and that the fuel cap seals correctly.
Doors and Bonnet
Doors and bonnets must open, close, and latch securely. We test all these components thoroughly.
Exhaust System
We check for leaks, corrosion, and noise levels, ensuring any catalytic converter fitted as standard is present and operational.
Seats and Mirrors
Seats must be firmly secured, adjustable, and mirrors should offer clear visibility.
Lights & Electrical Systems
All headlights, brake lights, fog lamps, and indicators are tested, along with the battery and visible wiring.
Steering & Suspension
Steering and suspension systems are tested for proper operation and integrity. Warning lights are also checked.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Every vehicle made after August 1980 must display a clear VIN, which we verify.
Wipers, Washers, and Windscreen
We ensure clear driver visibility by checking wipers, washers, and the windscreen for cracks or damage.

An MOT (Ministry of Transport test) is a mandatory annual inspection for vehicles over three years old. It confirms your vehicle meets DVSA safety and emission standards.
During your MOT, our certified testers inspect key systems, including:
- Brakes and tyres
- Suspension and steering
- Seatbelts and emissions
- Lights and electrical components
If your car passes, you’ll receive a new MOT certificate valid for 12 months. If it fails, we’ll provide a full report and repair options.
