MOT FAQs

What do they check on an MOT in the UK

During an MOT test, key safety, roadworthiness, and emissions items are inspected. This includes brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, steering, exhaust and emissions, seatbelts, mirrors, windscreen, and warning lights.
The test checks whether your vehicle meets minimum legal standards — it’s not a full mechanical inspection.

The most common MOT failures are:

  • Worn or damaged tyres
  • Faulty lights or indicators
  • Brake issues
  • Suspension or steering problems
  • Many failures are caused by simple, visible issues that can often be fixed quickly.

Before your MOT, it helps to:

  • Check all lights are working
  • Make sure tyres have enough tread
  • Ensure washers and wipers work
  • Remove dashboard warning lights
  • Clear your windscreen and mirrors
  • A quick check beforehand can reduce the chance of an avoidable failure.

A major fail means the vehicle does not meet legal safety standards. Common major fails include:

  • Severely worn brakes or tyres
  • Serious suspension or steering faults
  • Excessive exhaust emissions
  • Structural corrosion in key areas
  • If a vehicle receives a major fail, it cannot be legally driven until repaired.

An MOT certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of the test.
You can book your next MOT up to one month (minus one day) before expiry and keep the same renewal date.

An MOT does not check:

  • Engine condition or internal components
  • Clutch wear
  • Gearbox operation
  • Vehicle performance
  • Cosmetic damage
  • An MOT confirms legal roadworthiness, not overall mechanical health.
