by Mill Tyres Cheap New Tyres Boston A valid MOT certificate necessary to drive on UK roads, as it ensures that your car maintains the minimum safety standards. Moreover, you can be issued with a fine up to £1000 for driving without a valid MOT certificate. Additionally, after the new revisions in MOT rules, a new loophole has emerged that can cause a further £2500 fine.The MOT change you should be aware of before going for an early MOT check
Many think that getting an early MOT check is an efficient way to avoid any unwelcome legal attention. However, what they don’t understand is that all records of their car’s test are stored in a cloud-based system. As a result, when a car fails the MOT test and is assigned a dangerous status the traffic cops can access it anytime.
So, when someone keeps driving with the fault assigned vehicle, thinking that their previous MOT certificate will prevent any excess fines, they are caught off-guard by the fact that their cars can still incur penalties. Moreover, if you are caught with a ‘dangerous’ label even if it’s before the expiry of your last MOT certificate, you’ll be slapped with a fine of £2500.
Thus, it’s quite risky to get an early MOT test, and if you decide to go for it anyway, be sure to implement the necessary fixes.
Now, let’s look at some of the ways you can ensure that your car passes its MOT in Boston at one go -
-
Ensure Your Car’s Diesel Particulate Filter is in an Optimal State
A DPF in cars makes sure that no excess particles escape through its exhaust system. As diesel vehicles are highly polluting, present changes in the MOT rules enforce stricter emissions standards for these cars. If during an MOT check, the technician detects that the DPF has been altered in any way or any coloured smoke emitting from your vehicle, your car will fail. Furthermore, your car’s exhaust system shouldn’t have any leaks.

Carefully Inspect the Car Interiors
Check your car’s interiors and find out the following:
-
Whether the driver's seat is adjustable or not and that the seatbacks can be fixed in the upright position.
-
If the seatbelts are in proper working condition and the seat belt pre-tensioners and the load limiters are working as they should. Additionally, a tester will check the status of the airbags via the MIL in the dashboard.
-
Ensure your car has the minimum number of mirrors in pristine condition, and with no cracks or damages. Other indirect vision equipment must also be in a well-functioning state

Ensure Your Tyres are in the Proper State
Firstly, your tyre’s tread depth must meet the minimum standard of 1.6mm. Also, they should be free of any signs of damage such as deep cuts on its side walls. Moreover, an unevenly worn tread will cause you to fail the test. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System must also function correctly. If your tyres are unevenly worn or have cuts and bulges, consider buying new Tyres in Boston.
Along with the above parts, check if all other peripherals like wipers, horns and signalling devices are working as they should. Be sure that the garage you opt for has a licence by the DVSA. Reputable garages like Mills Tyres conduct MOT checks and the necessary repairs.
