Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Toyota BZ4X Owners

These checks follow this Toyota BZ4X's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Toyota BZ4X.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  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.

• the lights — “headlamp aim too high”

  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.

• tyre pressures and valves — “tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”

  Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.
