Recent MOT Changes - What You Need to Know

The DVSA has updated MOT standards in recent years. Key changes that affect many vehicles include:

• DPF checks: Diesel vehicles have their diesel particulate filter (DPF) checked. Vehicles where the DPF has been removed or tampered with will automatically fail.
• Tyre condition: The assessment of tyre damage has become stricter. Bulges, cuts and internal damage are now more likely to result in failure rather than advisory.
• Dangerous vs. Major vs. Advisory: The defect categories changed in 2018. 'Dangerous' defects mean the vehicle fails and must not be driven. 'Major' defects are fail items. 'Minor' defects result in an advisory only but should be monitored.
• Brake system warning lights: ABS, brake and traction control warning lights that remain illuminated will now cause a fail in many circumstances.

Our team stays up to date with the latest MOT standards to ensure our pre-MOT inspection reflects the actual test criteria.
