Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Great Wall Steed Chrome Td Owners

These checks follow this Great Wall Steed Chrome Td's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Great Wall Steed Chrome Td.

• the lights — “headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect”

  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 exhaust and emissions — “exhaust system has a major leak of exhaust gases”

  Listen for a blow at idle and have someone rev it gently. Then look at the tailpipe smoke: blue is oil, white when warm is coolant, black is over-fuelling. Any of those and the emissions test is the least of it.

• the brake pipes — “rigid brake pipes excessively corroded”

  Brake pipes run under the car, usually in front of the rear wheels. Flaking or crusty metal is what fails; a light dusting of surface rust does not. Worth asking a garage to look while it is on a ramp.
