Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Cf Moto Cf Owners
These checks follow this Cf Moto Cf's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Cf Moto Cf.
-
the number plates — “registration plates missing”
Check both plates are present, legible and correctly spaced, with the postcode of the supplier and the BS AU 145e mark. A private plate in the wrong style is a fail before the car is even looked at.
-
the suspension joints — “pins and bushes pin or bush excessively worn”
With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.
-
the wheel bearings — “wheel bearings has excessive play”
Listen for a hum that rises and falls with speed and changes when you load one side in a bend. A noisy bearing is an easy pre-test diagnosis and an awkward surprise at the test station.
Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Cf Moto Cf. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
