Vehicles will also be judged
against much tighter ‘green’ re-
quirements including the New
MOT diesel emissions tests
if the “exhaust on a vehicle fitted
with a diesel particulate filter
emits visible smoke of any col-
our”, the car should be marked
as having a Major defect, and fail
its test
MOT testers will also be tasked
with inspecting items additional
items as below :
* Obviously under-inflated tyres
* Contaminated brake fluid
* Fluid leaks posing an environ-
mental risk
* Brake pad warning lights and
missing brake pads or discs
* Reversing lights on vehicles first
used from 1 September 2009
* Headlight washers (if present)
on vehicles first used from 1 Sep-
tember 2009
Advisory notices will remain a
part of the test but, if given, will
sit more prominently on the re-
designed MOT certificate.
The MOT has undergone some of the most sig-
nificant changes of its near 60-year history, with
the arrival of stricter standards for diesels, and
new defect categories for all cars. All cars going
through the MOT test will now have their faults
judged against new Minor, Major and Danger-
ous Defect categories, with Major and Danger-
ous defects causing a car to automatically fail
the test.
