MOT Checks you can do Yourself

To ensure that your vehicle passes its MOT, there are several checks that you can perform yourself. Firstly, it is important to verify that all seat belts clunk and click on every trip, and release easily. Additionally, the windscreen must have no more than 4 cm of damage on the passenger side and 1 cm on the driver's side. It is also crucial to confirm that the wipers clean the windscreen front and back, and that the screen wash is filled. The number plate should be clean and legible, and all lights and indicators must be in proper working order. Finally, it is recommended to check the depth of your tyres using the 20 pence coin test, and ensure that your horn is functioning correctly.

Safety first, check all seat belts to make sure they clunk and click on every trip and release easily. Make sure there is no visible cuts or fraying and they pull back to position.
