Motorists Fail Their MOTs By Failing to Dump their Rubbish

PORTSMOUTH, U.K. - April 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Last week, our friends at whatcar.com reported that an incredible number of UK motorists are losing out by not cleaning up their cars before an annual MoT.  The report revealed that nearly 3,000 vehicles failed their last MoT because their cars were full of clutter.

Grubby car? Mechanics can Refuse you an MOT

Whilst mechanics have the right to refuse to test a car if it is dirty, at many garages if the car is refused because it’s dirty the MOT just won’t take place, so you won’t lose out altogether.  If, on the other hand the garage failed the MOT for that reason alone, many garages allow for a 10 day period for a retest at no extra cost.

It was reported that last year, a further 4,650 failed their MOT because drivers had failed to top up their screenwash. With car MOT prices currently capped at £54.85, it’s a costly failure which could easily be avoided with a quick car inspection.
