What Is Checked During an MOT?
Your MOT covers a wide range of safety and environmental checks to make sure your vehicle meets the minimum standards required to be driven legally on UK roads.
Depending on your vehicle, the MOT inspection can include checks of:
Brakes and braking performance
Tyres and wheels
Steering and suspension
Lights and reflectors
Seat belts and seats
Windscreen, washers and wipers
Vehicle structure and bodywork
Registration plates
Mirrors
Horn
Fuel system
Exhaust and emissions
Doors and other safety-related components
An MOT is not a replacement for regular servicing.

MOT and Car Servicing in Christchurch & Verwood
Your MOT and car service perform different jobs, but having them carried out around the same time can be a convenient way of keeping on top of your vehicle's annual maintenance.
While an MOT concentrates on whether your vehicle meets minimum legal road safety and environmental standards, a service examines your vehicle's condition and maintenance requirements in greater detail. Keith Motors provides both MOT testing and car servicing from our Christchurch and Verwood workshops, making it easy to arrange the work your vehicle needs with one experienced local team.
Depending on your vehicle's service schedule, we can help with routine servicing, maintenance and repairs alongside your MOT.
