  1. Guideline for Motorbike Mot Test And Certification Motorcycle owners should be careful and ensure that their motorbike/Scooter is in good condition. As per the UK government guidelines, your motorbike/Scooter should be legally roadworthy. This is where motorbike mot plays a significant role. From the 4th year onwards of your scooter, it should be passed an annual Scooter mot test and get certified. Don’t ride your motorbike/Scooter without a valid MOT certificate; otherwise, you will be fined heavily and will invalidate your insurance policy. As a responsible motorbike owner and rider, this is your duty to take care of your bike or scooter properly. This MOT test takes place in two classes such as engines up to 200cc fall into ‘class 1’ and engines over 200cc fall into ‘class 2’. This test doesn’t include the engine, clutch, or gearbox test.

  2. Some people are not aware of the MOT test so they go for the wrong advice. This could lead to more issues and you might end up eating into the family budget. Thus, you should have some sort of plan to deal with it. You may find some unscrupulous garages that will make you fail on many things to earn more money. So, you must hire a professional and authorized garage for your motorcycle MOT test. MOT (The Ministry of Transport) no longer exists and it is now authorized via the Department of Transport. But the name is the same. You can find several authorized garages or test centers for MOT tests for your motorbikes and Scooters. What Is the Motorbike MOT (Ministry Of Transport) Test? MOT is an annual requirement of vehicles three years after their first registration. A motorcycle mot test ensures that your motorbike/Scooter is in top condition as well as complies with at least the minimum road safety and environmental standards. With an MOT certificate, your motorbike is legal to ride on the road. This test includes the inspection of important components on your motorbike, but this is not like general motorcycle servicing/motorbike servicing. This is a good thing that every rider should follow. What Are The Most Common Motorbike MOT Failures? As per some expert reports, many people fail the MOT test. However, these failures are easy to fix. All you need to be aware of these mistakes so that you can take the right step to fix them at the right time. LIGHTS- Without well-conditioned lights, your motorbike will face initial test failures. In simple words, 1 in every 10 motorbikes fails the test every year. Reasons are like an indicator that doesn’t work, a sidelight that went cracked, a brake light that’s out, or a badly adjusted headlight. STEERING & SUSPENSION- Many bikes fail at the annual MOT test owing to Steering and Suspension Systems. It could be due to poorly leaking fork seals, worn bearings, and broken or corroded rear suspension springs. However, it can be easily fixed on time.

  3. MOTORBIKE TYRES- This is yet another reason for MOT test failure. If the tyres are not at the right speed rating and rubbing on a different part or not properly fixed, and have a cut, nick, or bulge in the rubber. BRAKES- Some percentage of motorbikes/Scooters fail to owe to braking systems and the reasons might include faultily scratched discs, worn pads, or warped discs. NUMBER PLATE- If the number plate is not accurately sized or the number on the frame doesn’t match the number on the logbook, the MOT test fails. You should be careful about this point. FUEL & EXHAUST SYSTEM- IT cannot be ignored as these systems are vital and make sure that these parts are in top condition. Or else, you will face MOT test failure. Moreover, these are the common mistakes that can lead to an annual MOT test failure by the testers. You must ensure that your motorbike is not on this list. All you need to have a basic idea of these things or you can seek the help of professionals in this matter. The Process Of Annual Motorbike MOT Test- When it comes to the Scooter MOT test, it takes around 25 minutes, but it depends on the different conditions of bikes or scooters. The authorized MOT tester will perform a pre-MoT test prior to logging the vehicle on the network and ensure that the frame numbers are matched.
