As MOT season approaches, many drivers in Farnborough start thinking about whether their car will pass. A failed MOT can be frustrating, not to mention expensive, especially if it could’ve been avoided with a few basic checks beforehand. At TTS Auto Engineering, we offer pre-MOT inspections as part of our mobile mechanic service, helping you catch any issues before your official test. And the best part? We come to you, so there’s no need to visit a garage.
Why Pre-MOT Checks Matter
An MOT checks your car’s roadworthiness, and even small problems, like a worn tyre or faulty bulb, can lead to a failure. These are often quick and inexpensive to fix if caught in advance, saving you time and hassle in the long run.
What We Look for During a Pre-MOT Check
As mobile mechanics, we carry out a thorough inspection of the most common failure points, including:
Lights and Indicators
We’ll check all your external lights are working, including brake lights, indicators, and number plate bulbs.
Tyres and Tread Depth
Worn or damaged tyres are a common MOT failure. We’ll inspect tyre condition and tread, and let you know if anything needs replacing.
Brakes
We’ll test the brake response and inspect pads and discs for wear, ensuring they meet MOT standards and, more importantly, keep you safe.
Wipers and Washers
Windscreen wipers must be in good condition, and washers must be working correctly to pass an MOT.
Warning Lights
If your dashboard shows any warning lights (like engine, airbag, or ABS), your car will fail. We can run diagnostics and advise on next steps.
Suspension and Steering
We’ll check for worn suspension components and excessive steering play, two common causes of MOT failures.
