Our MOT Check in East Sussex
Body and Chassis
The Sussex MOT entails inspecting the exterior of your vehicle for potential sharp edges or excessive corrosion that could injure pedestrians, as well as checking doors, bonnet and boot to make sure they open and close easily and securely. Furthermore, we will check to make sure vehicle identification numbers and registration plates can be read easily without obstruction by stickers, paintwork or mud.
Registration Plates
The Sussex MOT test also covers checking that your vehicle’s registration plates are securely fastened and easily legible, as well as inspecting tyre conditions (including spare), tread depth and legal minimum of 1.6mm minimum tread depth requirement (you can test yourself using an edge of 20p coin to do so). They will examine your windscreen, mirrors and wipers to make sure that they can be seen clearly and are operating efficiently.
Electrical Systems
Your vehicle must meet a number of electrical systems standards for it to pass its MOT inspection, such as its starter motor, charging system and lights. Without these essential systems functioning correctly, driving could become impossible and its MOT Sussex test failed; most electrical issues are easily addressable through following manufacturer recommendations and acting promptly upon them if problems arise.
Best MOT Check
Your car’s tyres will be checked for size, security, tread depth and condition (including any spare wheels). In addition, an engineer will ensure your exhaust system is leak-free and meets environmental standards. Your windscreen wipers will be examined to make sure they cover a sufficient area without leaving marks or smudges behind. Wing mirrors will also be checked, to make sure they open and close properly so as to not obscure your view of the road.
