❌ 3 Daft Reasons Cars Fail Their MOT (That You Can Fix in 2 Minutes)
Before you bring your car down to see us at Thornaby MOT, check these three things so you don't get slapped with an annoying fail code! 👇
1️⃣ The Dreaded Engine Light: If your engine management light (or any major warning light) is glowing on your dashboard, it is an automatic MOT fail. Don't just cross your fingers and hope it goes away! 🚨
2️⃣ A Blown Lightbulb: Nearly 30% of all MOT failures are simply down to broken lights. Turn on your hazards, headlights, and fog lights, and walk around the car. If a bulb is out, you can spot it in seconds! 💡
3️⃣ Low Tyre Tread: Grab a 20p coin and insert it into the main grooves of your tyres. If the outer band of the 20p is visible, your tread is below the legal 1.6mm limit and will fail.
🪙👉 Unsure about any of these or got a warning light on? When you arrive for your booking, just ask a member of staff to check them over before the MOT starts. We can plug in our diagnostics tool or replace bulbs on the spot to make sure your car sails through! 🛠️
We like keeping things straightforward, local, and stress-free.
Drop your car off with us, grab a cuppa down the road, and we'll take care of the rest. ☕
