Today my car is having an M.O.T (ministry of transport) test. A UK car test.
This is a safety test to ensure that my car is unlikely to cause harm outside of human error.
They test the Brakes, Tyres, Suspension, lights and chassis (for rust) to ensure that it can stop quickly without loosing control.
The passenger safety is also checked, windscreen wipers, seat belts, air conditioning (leaking co2 causes fainting) and windscreens.
Recently an emissions test was also added to check the car emits the same levels of co2 and co that it did when it was made.
There are several other tests that I'm not aware of. Things like number plate light check and various other legal checks.
