How Do We Conduct an MOT Test At Blue Tyres?
Before conducting the test, our tester inquired about your vehicle’s previous MOT background data. This process is done to find any ongoing problems. Afterwards, a comprehensive MOT inspection will be conducted. We follow all parts inspection which is directed by DVSA:
Braking system
The braking system of your vehicle is essential for maximum on-road driving safety. Damaged or worn-out braking components can potentially compromise your, and other road user’s safety. We will carefully assess the brakes on your vehicle to ensure they function optimally.
Lights
Poorly functioning lights can lead to visibility issues. During the MOT test our testers also test headlights, indicators, brake lights, tail lamps, fog lamps, etc. during MOT Testing.
Exhaust
The exhaust system of your vehicle is instrumental in managing and reducing localised air pollution. This helps your car emissions to stay within the permissible limits. The emission level of your vehicle will determine the MOT results. We will check the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, silencer, oxygen sensors, etc.

VT30: If your vehicle fails to meet the required standards, we will issue a VT30 certificate. A VT30 certificate states that your vehicle has failed its MOT and needs to appear for a retest after all faults are rectified.

Types of Issues
The issues that prevent vehicles from clearing the MOT are classified as follows:
- Dangerous (such issues directly lead to MOT failure)
- Major (These issues can also prevent your car from clearing the yearly MOT)
There are also so-called Minor faults. They do not result in an MOT failure. With these minor faults, your vehicle will still pass its MOT, but they should be rectified in due course. A so-called advisory note will be issued with the VT20 certificate. The note will also stay in the system and will be looked at during the next MOT test.
MOT Repair and Retest
Our facility also provides efficient and reliable repairs and part replacements at affordable prices. If your vehicle fails the MOT, our experts will clearly explain the reasons behind the failure and state the requirements for passing it.
