What’s Involved in an Electric Vehicle MOT?
While electric vehicles don’t require emissions testing, the MOT for an EV still includes a number of important checks to ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive. Here's what’s typically involved:
- Brakes and Suspension: We perform a thorough check of your electric vehicle's brakes and suspension to ensure proper functionality. Although EVs use regenerative braking, the physical brake system must still meet road safety standards.
- Tires and Wheels: We inspect tire condition, tread depth, and general wear. Proper tire maintenance is crucial for both safety and efficiency in electric vehicles.
- Lights, Mirrors, and Wipers: The MOT includes checks on lights, indicators, mirrors, and wipers to ensure they comply with legal requirements and function correctly.
- Steering and Handling: We inspect the steering system for smooth operation and to identify any wear or issues that could affect vehicle control.
- High-Voltage Electrical Systems: Our technicians are trained to safely check your EV's high-voltage systems, inspecting wiring, connectors, and insulation for any safety risks.
- Battery and Charging Systems: We examine visible battery components and charging systems to ensure they are in good condition with no obvious safety concerns.
- Vehicle Structure: We inspect the vehicle’s structure for signs of corrosion or damage that could impact safety.
