What The Stricter MOT Test Means To You.
As from Sunday 20th May 2018 the new Rules come into effect.
With new defect types, stricter rules for diesel car emissions, and some vehicles over 40 years old becoming exempt.
Defects found during the MOT are categorised as either:
Dangerous, Major or Minor.

The category the MOT tester gives each item will depend on the type of problem and how serious it is.
MOT testers will still give advice about items you need to monitor. These are known as ‘advisories’.
So Let’s Talk Emissions….
There are stricter limits for emissions from Diesel cars with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
A DPF captures and stores exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel cars.
Your vehicle will get a major fault if the MOT tester:
- Can see smoke of any colour coming from the exhaust.
- Find evidence that the DPF has been tampered with.
