Are You Looking for MOT in Fulham?
An MOT (Ministry of Transportation) test is an annual test of a vehicle to check its roadworthiness. After completing 3-years of registration, your car must pass this test annually to meet minimum safety-, environmental- and legal standards.
If your vehicle’s MOT test is due, visit Sparrowhawk Motors for an efficient MOT Fulham. We are an authorised MOT centre with certified testers. Our expert technicians follow all the DVSA's (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) guidelines. We offer MOT for class 4 vehicles.
What are class 4 vehicles?
This category consists of:
- Cars that can carry up to 8 passengers.
- Dual-purpose vehicles.
- Goods vehicles that weigh up to 3000 kg.
- Ambulances, taxis, motor caravans.
What do we inspect?
We perform all the necessary checks in our MOT Fulham test including:
Brakes: The evaluation of the condition of the components of the braking system, like the discs, pads, and callipers, as well as related pipes and wires, is done.
Bodywork: A thorough body inspection is done to ensure there is no excessive corrosion or rust and no sharp edges that can harm you or other people on the road.
Doors: The functioning of the doors is checked to ensure whether they can be opened from both inside and outside of the car. Additionally, the boot and bonnet must close securely.
Exhaust: We verify whether the emissions from the exhaust system are limited, depending on the type of vehicle you have.
Horn: We test if the vehicle’s horn is loud enough to be heard inside another car.
Lights: The condition of all the lights outside and inside the vehicle is checked.
Steering: All the components of the steering system are inspected for wear and tear. The power steering (if your vehicle has one) is also tested.
Towbar (if applicable): A tow bar for towing a caravan or trailer must not be corroded or rusted.
Registration number: The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) must be readable and visible on the windscreen or under the bonnet.
The numberplates are also checked.
Tyres: The tyres must be securely fitted with no missing bolts. The tread depth must be at least 1.6mm.
Windows: There must be no damage to the windows or cracks or chips on the windscreen. If there is damage on the windscreen, passing the MOT depends on the size and position of it.
These are just a few test-points. You can find the full list on the DVSA website or in our workshop.
