Missouri does it as well. Costs about $20 and most mechanics can do it if certified. Not too big a deal to have it done,so long as you don't wait till the end of the month when a lot of people are trying to get theirs done.
What is included in the MOT test?
The test does not cover the general condition of the vehicle; it is a mechanical test of its roadworthiness.
The MOT certificate lasts for 12 months but it does not mean that the vehicle is necessarily roadworthy for a full 12 months as circumstances can change with all vehicles so don’t ignore any faults that develop.
MOT tests are also not an endorsement of a vehicle. For instance, as well as the condition of the vehicle, the test does not cover the engine, clutch or gear box. MOT tests only cover key legal requirements for a vehicle at the time of the test.
Items covered in a MOT test are:
1. Fuel system
2. Seatbelts
3. Exhaust system
4. Exhaust emissions
5. Doors
6. Mirrors
7. Brakes
8. Locks
9. Tyres
10. Wheels
11. Vehicle number plates
12. Lights
13. Horn
14. Windscreen wipers and washers
15. Windscreen
16. Steering
17. Suspension
