Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Identification of the vehicle — 3.1% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 3.1% of MOT failures on 2008 Ktm Exc250 models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50.

Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
