Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Fiat Rimor Owners

These checks follow this Fiat Rimor's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Fiat Rimor.

• the lights — “registration plate lamp(s) inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the mirrors — “mirrors seriously damaged, affecting the rear view”

  Make sure both door mirrors are present, intact and adjustable, and that nothing is obscuring the view through the windscreen.
