As the dreaded date of your MOT approaches, the stress of potential failures can be overwhelming. However, consumer expert Scott Dixon, also known as The Complaints Resolver, has shared some valuable tips to help ensure your vehicle passes with flying colors.

Some of the most common reasons for MOT failures include issues with steering, brakes, suspension, tires, windscreens, and lights. Mr. Dixon advises getting your car serviced a few weeks before the MOT to address any complex or costly problems that may arise.

In addition to professional servicing, there are some simple checks you can perform yourself. For example, listening for unusual clunks while driving can indicate suspension damage, while checking for blown bulbs and ensuring all lights are working is crucial.

Inspecting brakes for squealing or grinding noises, testing the handbrake on a slope, and checking wipers for tears are also important steps. Monitoring tire tread depth, seat belt condition, registration plates, and bodywork are essential for a successful MOT.

Mr. Dixon also recommends avoiding automatic car washes, as they can damage your car’s paintwork, wiper blades, and bodywork. Additionally, checking for warning lights, addressing exhaust emissions, and ensuring a clear view through the windscreen are vital tasks.

By following these tips and staying proactive about maintenance, you can increase your chances of passing your MOT without any advisories. Remember, a clean and well-maintained vehicle not only ensures a successful MOT but also reflects positively when it comes time to sell.
