subject: Getting the Best Out of an MOT Station [print this page] When taking a vehicle to an MOT station, you must be aware of the reason why you are taking your vehicle in for. Keep a separate record of services and arrange subsequent service visits accordingly, making sure the oil, fluids and filters are changed according to the intervals recommended by the manufacturer of the car. Have vital engine components checked and changed as per the mileage instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual. And don't confuse an MOT certificate with a full, clean bill of automotive health: the two are very different things.
