What Equipment You Need To Provide An MOT?
To provide an MOT (Ministry of Transport) test, a garage needs specific equipment that meets government standards. In summary, the equipment required for providing an MOT test includes lifts and ramps, brake testers, emissions testers, headlight testers, mirrors and measurement tools, computerized testing equipment, and tools and equipment for vehicle repairs.
Lifts and ramps are used to lift the vehicle to the required height, allowing easy access to the undercarriage of the car for inspection. Brake testers measure the effectiveness of a vehicle's braking system, while emissions testers measure the level of pollutants emitted by the vehicle's exhaust. Headlight testers are used to check the alignment of a vehicle's headlights, while mirrors and measurement tools are used to inspect the vehicle's underside, ensuring there are no defects or damage.
Â
A computerized testing system is also required to record and store the data from the test, with the system recording the test results, storing them in a secure database, and printing out a certificate once the vehicle passes the MOT test. Additionally, garages need to have the necessary tools and equipment to carry out any repairs identified during the MOT test.
