Mot Test 

I had a car fail on

Holy crap! Your mot inspections for vehicle inspections put to shame what we do here in the US. In fact they're 11 states that don't require any annual inspection at all. This was a fascinating video. I really enjoyed it. It's nice to know some governments do a very thorough job on safety. Thanks for sharing!

More nervous about my car's MOT than I was about my goddamn driving test!

1) Security of bumpers not inspected 2) operation of steering tilt is not a part of the inspection 3) side windows were left in the open position prior to logging on the test therefore at the time of test not inspected for excessive tinting . 4) brake pipes or hoses are allowed to foul so no need to check for as they are not a failure nor an advise 5) engine must be off before jacking up the vehicle as this could cause warning lights to appear on the dashboard other than that not a bad test

An MOT inspectors certificate is a cash cow for garages they can basically fail what they like to get money out of gulliable people

running that engine for nearly an hour is a bit excessive.ive had to wire my rad fan up to the heated rear screen circuit as theres a fault with the fan coming on automatic so i have to inform the tester of that fact to prevent an over heated engine 🔥

Why did you leave the engine running for the whole test? Also I'm not sure the front steering and suspension needs to be tested so many times. The tests you did were adequate, you didn't need to re-do them again and again by different methods. Likewise how many times do you need to check the doors open and close!

Thank God we only have to go to this circus every 2. year where i live.

Really good video. It will certainly help me maintain my car to the mot standard as I am a DIY mechanic.

I like the emissions test on my 1972 Hillman Avenger: Does it smoke? No. Pass.

Hi Mark, I had my demonstration a couple of days ago. Passed with just a couple of minors. I just wanted to thank you for your invaluable routine video. I couldn't have done it without you dude. Clear and consise demonstration. And still the only full and current rutine on RU-vid. BTW, the minors where, not checking the rear number plate lights (which I disputed) and lock to lock while on turnplates. Thanks again. Peter

Just wanted to say thanks for the video Mark, passed my demo test today after having a break from testing for four years and watched this a few times to help refresh my memory, very helpful 👍🏻

Hi Mark. Thank you for this excellent video. There were a number of items that I was not aware of. Helps a lot for checking my car prior to its MOT

Great video Mark, I’ve just passed my Mot, I’m due to do my demo test in a couple of weeks. I’ve found this video very helpful to the way I inspect a car. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it’s done. All the best for the future.

Great video Mark, Very informative, well done.

Really useful & informative stuff 👍

How very interesting to watch modern test with all the emission/computer/automation/on line systems. I can compare to many [50] years ago when it was much more pencil & paper. [+ a test result sheet that looked like a proper CERTIFICATE].

Hi its good to see this all the checks you can do at home apart from the emissions the government makes a mint out of this test but safety is key an less u got a car that is over 40 years old and then no mot test is required

Very interesting to get an insight of what is involved when my car goes for its mot. Thank you

Thnaks for the video. Really interesting. Very professional.
