Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Toyota BZ4X Motion Owners

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

• 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 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 suspension joints — “ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated”

  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.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Toyota BZ4X Motion. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
