Example checks during a Class 4 car MOT test:

- Steering and suspension: The steering wheel, suspension components, and other parts are checked to ensure that they are secure and not excessively worn.
- Tyres: The tread depth and general condition of the tyres are checked to ensure that they are safe to use and have enough tread.
- Brakes: The brake pads, discs, and other components are checked to ensure that they are working properly and are not worn down.

Generally, a car will need to have an MOT test once it’s 3 years old. After the first test, it will need to be tested annually.
There are some exceptions to this rule, for example, if the car is over 40 years old and has not been substantially modified, it may not require an MOT.
It’s important to note that it’s the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the car is roadworthy and has a valid MOT certificate. If a car is found to be without a valid MOT certificate, the owner may face a fine and the car may be impounded.
It’s also a good idea to check the MOT status of the car before buying it, as a car without a valid MOT certificate is considered less valuable and may require repairs before it can be driven on the road.
