Motorcycle MOT – Orpington and Dartford

Just like with cars, motorcycle MOTs are the law and you need to have them done annually. The good news is that Orpington Motorworks can take the hassle out of arranging your bike’s MOT by doing it for you.

What’s covered in a Motorcycle MOT?

A motorcycle MOT is different to that for a car and so needs to be done by someone with specific training. All parts must be secure, in good condition, and appropriate for the bike.

• Brakes – A complete inspection of your bike’s brake components and ABS warning lights.
• Clutch lever
• Drive system – A worn chain and sprocket will make your bike work harder, so it’s important to have them both in good condition and fitted with the correct tension. The chain guard must be fitted securely.
• Exhaust
• Footrests
• Frame – Check for corrosion, damage, or distortion that could affect braking or steering.
• Horn
• Licence plates, vehicle ID, and frame number – Must be legible.
• Lights – Must be the correct angle, brightness, and colour, and be working properly.
• Seats – Must be securely fitted.
• Sidecars
• Steering
• Suspension
• Throttle
• Wheels and tyres – Among the things checked: wheels must be of the correct type and in good condition, and tyres need to have the correct tread depth.
