From
various data and analysis released by the ‘Vehicle Operator and
Services Agency’ (VOSA), one can easily conclude the common reasons
for MOT failure. Even the smallest faulty car part can put your and
fellow drivers’ life under threat while driving on the
road. The surprising fact is – reasons identified for the failure
of the MoT Test hadn’t required a pretty penny for the
resurrection. If you own a vehicle, you need to put aside
your negligence before taking your vehicle
for the MOT Test. Or else, it may cost you the failure of the test.
‘Jackson MOT’ is an authorised undertaker of the MOT
Test in Northampton
and
in the wake of our experience, we recommend drivers to take their
vehicle for a
repair job before they bring it to undergo the test.
Key
Reasons Why Your Car Failed the MOT Test
As
mentioned above, the reasons for the failure of the MOT Test are
quite common – too obvious to guess. Take faulty lamps and
reflectors, for instance. They accounted for around 27% of the all
MOT Test failure in the previous year! The fact implies that almost 1
out of 4 cars failed the test just because they either had faculty
lamps or reflectors out of function. It was a complete shock when
Jackson MOT’s professionals were interacting with some folks at our
facility for MOT
Test in Northampton.
A
malfunctioning suspension system is right behind in the data sheet
that accounts for 18% test failure. Isn’t it really devastating to
know the fact that a failing or worn suspension system can prevent
you from taking your car out on the road even for a short drive?
Faulty brakes/braking system accounting for 15% test failure,
drivers’ viewability on the road (11%), worn-out tyres (10%), fuel
and emission system (6%), non-functional steering (4%), and seatbelts
(2.9%) are some of the most prominent reasons in the line-up that
account for test failure.
What
If Your Vehicle Fails the MOT Test?
In
case your car/vehicle fails the MOT Test, you are issued the VT30
certificate listing the key parts that caused MOT Test failure. An
advisory notice is also issued alongside the VT30 certificate at the
MOT tester’s discretion, containing the key inputs to be focused
upon. Most of such cases where MOT tester finds it viable to release
an advisory notice comprise the information on:
• Parts
that are presently functioning fine, but may fail in the next MOT
Test
• Other
characteristics of your car identified during the MOT Test
•
Defects
occurring on the non-testable items of your vehicle
The
advisory notice holds great significance, specifically when it comes
to getting your vehicle ready for the next MOT Test. There is nothing
terrifying in the notice that digs your worries out; moreover, it’s
meant to make you vigilant and cautious, promoting your safe and
sound driving. However, you need to take serious concern with the
pointers mentioned in the notice to make sure nothing serious (even
fatal) is ignored.
