MOT Testing in Stockport

The reason for MOT testing in Stockport is that it is the only way that we can be sure that all vehicles on the road are in a safe and roadworthy condition. There is a standard list of checks that must be carried out and passed before the vehicle can receive an MOT. The most obvious parts of the car are checked like the brakes and the tyres. Only a handprint size part of each of the tyres is in contact with the road at any time and this is why it is so important to have good tread on every tyre.  The brakes are equally important as if you fail to stop you will crash. Signal lights are checked to ensure you can notify other road users of your intentions.

Your vehicle’s annual test is vitally important for both driver and car. In Stockport, MOT testing must take place every year on all cars over 3 years of age. It must be checked to make sure it meets the requirements of the Department of Transport. The entire car is checked although the state of certain mechanical aspects cannot be established like the engine and gearbox. The test makes sure that the steering and suspension are in good working order. The exhaust system is inspected to make sure it is in good order and that the emissions are within a prescribed range.  This helps to control the amount of air pollution we are forced to breathe in every day. The chassis of the car which contains the overall strength of the vehicle needs to be whole and structurally sound.
