Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Honda Crossroad Owners

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

• the lights — “rear fog lamp missing”

  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 suspension joints — “ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”

  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 steering — “steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”

  With the wheels straight, rock the steering wheel gently with the engine off — more than about an inch of free play before the wheels move is worth investigating. Split rack gaiters are cheap to replace and commonly recorded.
