Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Mazda Mx-30 Prime-Line Owners

These checks follow this Mazda Mx-30 Prime-Line's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Mazda Mx-30 Prime-Line.

• the wipers and washers — “washers provides insufficient washer liquid”

  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 tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

  Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.

• the suspension joints — “linkage ball joints ball joint 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.
