• An MOT is never exactly something fun we are
  often filled with dread at the thought of our
  mechanic finding a million and one faults
  resulting in our car being labelled unroadworthy
  with only an eye watering repair bill able to
  change that. We all know that there's never
  really any fun in a MOT test but that doesn't
  necessarily mean that it is scary as it is made
  out to be! From rumours to myths to stories
  designed to fill you with dread the world of
  MOT's is no exception to falsities but how many
  do you believe to be true? Checkout Specialist
  Repair Service for more info.
• Unfortunately a number of these fabrications may
  have arisen as the result of questionable work
  conducted by questionable mechanics but there are
  more than a few genuine, honest specialists who
  will play by the book and ensure that your car is
  tested for everything it should be and not failed
  for something it shouldn't be.There are quite a
  few common myths surrounding the MOT test but
  below I have picked a few of my favourites that,
  no matter how convincing your mechanic may seem,
  are just not true...

• Fog Lights/ Rear Lights- There is a common
  misconception that broken fog lights and failed
  reverse lights will result in a MOT fail but this
  is far from the case. There is absolutely no
  legal requirement for these to be tested and
  therefore you cannot fail your MOT test should
  these not be working. Do you want to learn more?

• No Insurance- Not directly related to the testing
  criteria but this is definitely something I had
  to point out I have come across a number of
  drivers who are under the assumption that they do
  not need to be insured to drive to the garage for
  their MOT but that is most definitely not true!
  Yes it is permissible to drive without road tax
  as you cannot get road tax without a valid MOT
  but this has nothing to do with your insurance.
• Whatever the situation, it is illegal to drive
  anywhere without drivers insurance so don't even
  attempt it!Heating- No one likes a cold car and
  de-icing in the winter is never easy if your
  heating is not working but that is no reason to
  receive a fail. In fact, your heating shouldn't
  even be checked in the test so if it isn't
  working, don't worry too much about it! Have a
  look at Vehicle for more info on this.

• Legal Spare Tyre- Your spare tyre will only be
  checked as part of your MOT if it is currently
  not fitted to your car. A mechanic will only ever
  encourage you to have a valid spare tyre as it is
  simply common sense however you should never be
  failed for it.
• Failing an MOT test is always a strain but are
  you aware of what you should and shouldn't be
  failed for? There are countless brilliant,
  experienced and honest mechanics out there but
  for your own sanity and peace of mind, be sure
  you know everything there is to know to ensure
  that you don't fall victim to those unsuspecting
  myths!
