It's important to carry out regular car maintenance to avoid MOT failure - checking and replacing your engine oil, coolant, lights and tyres as necessary.

Many drivers take this a step further and ask, "can I get a pre-MOT check on my car?". The answer is yes, you can! It's possible to do your own checks before an MOT, but it may give you extra peace of mind if a trained technician does them for you, which is one of the best ways of avoiding MOT failure.

By conducting a thorough visual inspection of your vehicle, you can detect problems early and get them fixed before your MOT, increasing the chance of a first-time pass.

MOT pre-checks should include the operation of all lights, wipers, washers, seat belts, doors, mirrors, the horn, number plates, bodywork, mirrors and wheels, and a visual inspection of the brakes, suspension, steering and fuel system.
