If you live or work in Bradford, then you will often find yourself commuting on some of the major arterial roads in and out of the city. The A650, the M606 and the A647 can all get quite busy during the rush hour, resulting in constant braking and accelerating which can place your car under greater strain than at other times.
The A6177 ring road is particularly tricky to negotiate unless your car is in good working order. That’s why an annual MOT is so beneficial if you drive at busy times of the day.
This is the same up and down the country, of course, so it doesn’t matter if your commute takes you further afield on the M62 or even in the south on major roads like the M40 which passes through Buckinghamshire between London and Birmingham.

In Buckinghamshire, with its mix of bustling towns and scenic countryside, ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy is crucial for navigating both urban and rural routes.

Steering Checks
Did you know your steering system is inspected during an MOT? If your car doesn’t feel fully under control when you corner so you have to hold the wheel tightly, knowing it has been checked as being safe can come as a big relief.
Brake Pad Inspections
Your car’s entire braking system will be checked during an MOT. This will often raise issues with brake pads which wear down over time. During an inspection, you might be told to replace your pads in the next month or so, helping you to keep on top of maintenance even if your car passes.
Improved Visibility
Drivers need to be able to see clearly, especially when they’re commuting in the dark winter months. This is why the annual MOT test covers visibility issues, such as faulty wiper blades, functioning headlamps and of course, mirrors that function properly and that are adjustable.
Better Emissions
Some drivers get stressed when they commute on busy city streets in Bradford near schools. Unless you own an electric car, generating some foul emissions in such locations is likely. Your MOT will set your mind at rest, though, because it means the level of pollutants will be tested to confirm they’re within safe limits.
Working Seatbelts
Finally, you shouldn’t stress out because you’re wondering about the quality of your seatbelts when driving. An MOT inspector will check them for you recommending any that aren’t up to scratch must be replaced.
