Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Lexus CT200H Owners

These checks follow this Lexus CT200H's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Lexus CT200H.

• the lights — “registration plate lamp(s) inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps”

  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 windscreen — “driver's view of the road through the swept area of the windscreen significantly affected by an obstruction”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.
