Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Smc Quadzilla Stinger Owners

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

• the suspension joints — “pins and bushes pin or bush 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.

• the number plates — “registration plates missing”

  Check both plates are present, legible and correctly spaced, with the postcode of the supplier and the BS AU 145e mark. A private plate in the wrong style is a fail before the car is even looked at.

• the lights — “stop lamp not working”

  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.
