What Is Checked During an Electric Car MOT?
The legal checklist for an MOT is identical for petrol, diesel and electric cars, but technicians must understand EV architecture to interpret results correctly. A Central Audi MOT covers every DVSA Class 4 item plus Audi and VW-specific inspections, including:
- Lights, indicators and beam alignment
- Tyres, wheels and TPMS sensors – heavier EVs demand special attention to tread and pressure monitoring.
- Brake system and regenerative components – discs and pads can corrode through low mechanical use.
- Suspension and steering – additional battery weight strains springs, dampers and bushings.
- High-voltage cabling and protective shrouds – visual inspection for damage, chafing or missing labels.
- Charging port security and operation – the port must seal correctly and be free from corrosion.
- Windscreen, wipers and washers
- Bodywork, doors, mirrors and seats
- Vehicle Identification Number and dashboard warning lamps – we scan with ODIS to ensure no latent fault codes.
