I am considering an interim service as I have only done 4,500 miles since the last service (and the car has only done 51,000 miles in total).

The following is a list a local garage checks during their MOT and interim service.

Can someone please help by letting me know, which of the following, are checked during a standard MOT:

  1. Instruments/Warning Lamps (Check)
  2. Switches/Controls (Check)
  3. Horn (Check)
  4. Interior Lamps (Check)
  5. Front Wiper Blades (Check)
  6. Rear Wiper Blades (Check)
  7. Wash/Wipe Systems (Check)
  8. Instrument Illumination (Check)
  9. Direction Indicators/Hazards (Check)
  10. Lighting System (Check)
  11. Headlights (Check)
  12. Service Interval Indicator Reset (Reset)
  13. Underbody Pipes and Hoses (Check)
  14. Engine Oil Leaks (Check)
  15. Engine Oil (Drain/Refill)
  16. Engine Oil Filter (Renew)
  17. Steering Joints (Check)
  18. Lighting System (Check)
  19. Steering Rack/Box (Check)
  20. Steering Column Couplings (Check)
  21. Suspension Joints/Seals (Check)
  22. Drive Shaft Joints/Seals (Check)
  23. Road Springs (Check)
  24. Shock Absorbers/Mountings (Check)
  25. Exhaust System/Mountings (Check)
  26. Brake Hydraulic System (Check)
  27. Tyre Condition (Check)
  28. Tyre Pressure (Check/Adjust)
  29. Tyre Tread (Check)
  30. Battery Terminals (Clean/Tighten/Re-Grease)
  31. Engine Bay Pipes and Hoses (Check)
  32. Washer Bottle (Check/Top-Up)
  33. Brake Fluid Resevoir (Check/Top-Up)
  34. Power Steering Fluid (Check/Top-Up)
  35. Power Steering System (Check)
  36. Radiator (Check)
  37. Air Conditioning (Check)
  38. General Oil Used (Castrol oils manufacturer recommended grade)

If almost all are checked during the MOT anyway, I'll simply skip the servicing.
