No rust/corrosion near critical items, like suspension/seatbelt mounts
Brake pipes are OK
The hand brake works correctly with no bind
The lights, wipers & washers work correctly
Tyres have tread/no decects
Could go on.........
Make sure the front number plate lamp is workinglol

And the rear headlights Royston
make sure the old certificate is folded over with a £20 inside it..........
seriously, check wheels, tyres, seatbelts, the horn & washwipe. etc....

All of they above, and that the hand brake cables not rubbing on the fuel line that joins the tank at the rear.

I've had some possible fails on rear wheel bearings - I don't like to run them too tight, so I nip them up just before the MOT and wind them of slightly once its done.
Then its the stuff thats above - also had a fail on a non working horn once - the connector on the horn was corroded and between my house and the MOT place it snapped off !

i had a very similar thing happen to me but luckily my mate was doing the mot and put it down as an advisory :)

I normally do this but do it 3 days late after I realise the MOT is due (normally "Mot is due" is interlaced with 4 letter words) then sort out the fail sheet after cycling to work for a week lol
