MOT soon.

Is there any common faults clio's fail on for the mot's?

Excluding the obvious like lights ect

 

[JBC27]

Dunno about common fails but have read a few threads on here about the new rules that i think are in now e.g. if you have xenons and have deleted the washers they will fail you (not seen anyone reporting to say its happened to them mind). CV boots tend to let me down but then that's probably not peculiar to clios.

Thanks for the reply.
I have no rear seats in the car.. Should be alright? I can put them back in if needs be but it's a bit of a pain lol

 

[JackJack]

Depends do you still have the belts in place? It is a fail to have one without the other either both or none.

 

[sbridgey]

cv gaitors, brakes, bearings, balljoints are what i would check are correct before going in, but remember an MOT is used to tell you what is wrong.

Haha. I haven't got round to it. And I can't find tools big enough!

OH RLY?




Common things...

Rear number plate lights

hazzard switch not working

worn ball joints (seem to be common'ish)

If you have the rear seats out the belts must be removed... its ALL or nothing with removing items from an MOT point of view.

Um okay well it's in the garage Tuesday... So fingers crossed there's nothing.. Or nothing expensive lol

Also take it to someone who leans on the side of common sense rather than a blatant fault finder

 

[welshname]

Or just ring them, tell them your reg and get them to meet you in a carpark with the certificate???

 

[Stephie_]

I have no screen washer system.. Its being fixed on the morning of the MOT. Decided to get the same guys to do the MOT.. Hopefully there gonna be ok... The last MOT didn't even have any advisories so I don't see why it won't pass.. Just getting nervous !

Don't even get a certificate anymore. Just an A4 printed notice confirming your car passed and the details were entered on the database.

 

[Stephie_]

Stupid car.
