MOT time
okay so next month is MOT time and I am looking for knowledgable folks to tell me exactly what will be assessed and also what I can do before hand to prevent a fail. cheers in advance...
|
Okay a list your after:
Lets start with: Lights Wipers Horn Tyres Ball Joints Body construction/condition Suspension Exhaust emissions Windscreen seatbelts Windscreen washer fluid Brakes Hand Brake Operation of all brakes Indicators Brake lights Corrosion Thinks thats the list! |
is your a 54 plate mate?
|
My 52 plate has gone thru' both times with nothing amiss, this year it is due in October, I don't think there is anything to worry about.
Yours should be fine if all the obvious things are checked before hand. |
yeah 54 plate...
|
i could list everything that is checked but i really can't be bothered,
Here a link to the testing manual http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual/contents.htm |
mines is due in October first time i have had to mot a car in about 5 years not looking forward to it
|
if it fails it will be something silly like a bulb or tyre, other than that the MGR cars are a solid car, and if they fail an MOT its normally the rear bushes that fail
|
in follow up...
Lights - just replaced most bulbs Wipers - just bought bosch ones Horn - working Tyres - need to replace front 2 (£330!!) Ball Joints - WHAT ARE THEY AND HOW DO I CHECK THEM? Body construction/condition - seems ok Suspension - SEEMS FINE BUT HOW DO I CHECK THIS? Exhaust - no issues emissions - cant check Windscreen - COUPLE OF STONE CHIPS (ISSUE?) seatbelts - fine Windscreen washer fluid - will top up Brakes - ALL NEED REPLACING (NEED A HOW TO FOR THIS GUYS!!) Hand Brake - works Operation of all brakes - car stops pretty good! Indicators - all working Brake lights - all working Corrosion - none BOLD = HELP!!! Cheers guys |
Ball joint, jack car up and rock the wheel in the 3 oclock and 9 olclock postion and top and bottom, MG ball joints are normally very solid.
Suspension, jack it up and check the shock absorbers for major fluid leaks and that the springs aren't broken. Brakes, theres a how to for the rears and i'm doing a front one in the next half hour Windscreen, depends on how big the chips are and where in the screen they are. Hope that helps |
