Does Car Really Need MOT?
You dont have any idea about the MOT Test and
dont know where to take out the MOT Check Poole.
However you dont need to have the technical
knowledge about the car. You just need to check
on the life of the car, if your car is more than
three years old, you must need to have the MOT
Test. If you ever forget the due date of the test
you can check it by signing up on the government
reminders by email. If you dont get it at the
right time you are not considered roadworthy and
you cant avail vehicle tax or insurance to renew
again.

What is Covered in an MOT?
While the MOT Test does not cover the proper
condition of the engine but instead covers the
key components of the car. They will look at the
general condition and the vehicle structure just
to ensure that your car is free from the
excessive damage in any of the particular area.
The components that covers are fuel systems,
seatbelts, seats, doors, mirrors, load security,
brakes, tires, lights, bonnets, windscreen,
wipers, horn, steering, electrical components etc.

How to Pass an MOT?
Check Mirrors

• To pass the MOT you must need to intact the
  interior and outside mirror. The acceptable
  mirror positions will be
• Mirror that gives the view along the offside of
  the vehicle.
• Mirror that gives the view along the nearside of
  the vehicle.
• Mirror that provides the view to the rear of the
  vehicle.

Check all the Lights If you saw any of the
warning light display on the dashboard, you
should consult your vehicle handbook to identify
the problem and get the Car Service Bournemouth
fast. If you ignored it at that particular
instant, it will be noticed in your MOT Test and
you will fail the test. So its always better to
get the warning that could be probably dangerous
fixed as soon as possible.

Check the Horn and Oil in the Engine Checking the
horn is the easiest test that you can do on your
own. If anything goes wrong with it and in case
if its not working you can get it fixed as soon
as you find it. Another important aspect to test
is to ensure that the vehicle has enough engine.
You can check it by looking under the bonnet and
to check the brake fluid, you can test it with
the engine off and cool. You can dip the dipstick
in and if you see the mini and max marking on the
dipstick its the time to top-up your oil.

Get your Vehicle Cleaned Though it is an
unnecessary task but you can get it done as a
part of your final checks. You will not fail the
test if your car is not clean and your
cleanliness would not count in the test anyhow.
But you need to clean your cars number plate to
ensure it is readable. In spite of the number
plate you need to maintain the lights either to
ensure they are not blurred by the smudged glass.

Keeping all the above mentioned points in mind
you need to take the MOT Check Poole once a year.
You need to maintain the cars checkup as to
maintain the performance of the car gradually.
This will in turn keep your car safe as possible.
Do not avoid the maintenance of your car as it
could be dangerous to you. You can get the best
maintenance from the Car Maintenance Garages Ltd
in Dorset that provides you with the best
