What’s Included in Our MOT Test?

During your MOT at Freeway Fast Fit, we check a wide range of safety and environmental factors, including:

Lights and Headlight Alignment

We check all external lights for condition, security, and correct operation. Headlight alignment is tested to ensure they illuminate the road properly without dazzling oncoming drivers.

Steering and Suspension

Our technicians inspect the steering and suspension systems for wear, damage, or faults. These are critical for stability, handling, and overall driving safety.

Windscreen, Wipers, and Washers

We ensure your windscreen is free from major cracks or chips that could impair your vision. Wipers and washers are also tested to confirm they clear the screen effectively in all conditions.

Fuel System

The entire fuel system is checked for leaks, corrosion, or damage. We also test that the fuel cap seals correctly to prevent fuel loss and reduce emissions.

Wheels and Tyres

As tyre specialists, we pay extra attention to tyre tread depth, condition, and size. We also check for uneven wear and damage, which can affect grip and handling.

Brakes

Your brakes are tested for efficiency, responsiveness, and overall condition. This includes discs, pads, and fluid levels to ensure maximum stopping power.

Bodywork and Structure

We look for rust, sharp edges, and structural weaknesses that could compromise safety. Any issues that could endanger pedestrians or other road users are flagged.
