MOT Preparation

What’s in an MOT Preparation Service?

Comprehensive inspection:

Paul Clifford Motor Services’ trained technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle to identify any potential issues that could lead to an MOT failure. They will examine various components, including lights, tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust system, mirrors, seat belts, and more. They look for signs of wear, damage, or faults that may need attention before the MOT test.

Pre-MOT checks:

The service provider performs specific checks that align with the MOT test requirements. They verify critical aspects such as headlight alignment, brake performance, horn functionality, windscreen wipers and washers, mirror condition, registration plate visibility, and exhaust emissions. If any deficiencies are found, we will advise on the necessary repairs or adjustments.

Maintenance and repairs:

If any issues or faults are discovered during the inspection, the service provider may offer maintenance or repair services to rectify them. This can include replacing worn-out brake pads, repairing or replacing faulty lights, adjusting suspension components, aligning wheels, or addressing other necessary fixes to ensure compliance with MOT standards.

Fluid top-ups and replacements:

The service may include checking and topping up vital fluids like engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windscreen washer fluid. If any fluid is found to be low or contaminated, the service provider may recommend a fluid replacement to maintain optimal performance and safety.

Documentation and advisory:

After completing the inspection and necessary adjustments, we will provide you with a report summarizing our findings and will give any advisories on any minor issues or upcoming maintenance requirements that may not affect the immediate MOT test but should be addressed in the future.

It’s important to note that an MOT Preparation service does not guarantee an MOT pass, as the actual test is conducted separately by an authorized MOT testing centre. However, by investing in this service, you can increase the likelihood of your vehicle passing the MOT test by addressing potential issues and ensuring that your vehicle meets the required standards.
