Also check if the belts release under pressure, Pull them tight and try to unclip them. I have an Mot checklist kicking about somewhere, Ill scan it up at some point.

check the rear wheel bearings for play,no furry dice hanging from the interior mirror,washers work and wiper blades not split, make sure you take it in for test with a hot engine to help with the emissions and check the brake pipes for corrosion if there is any rub it down with a bit of wet &dry and cover in grease or underseal to protect it and no the windows an't part of the test apart from the windscreen

no, they didnt for me and i was quite pissed he didnt pass it anyway because he passed it last year and then failed it this year.. also i had a missing seat belt clip in the back and he done the same by passing it last year and failing this year, i even know the guy that took it in to have done for me but his boss tested it
