What’s Involved in MOT Equipment Calibration? MOT equipment calibration is a critical process that ensures every piece of testing machinery used during an MOT inspection delivers precise and consistent results. This routine calibration is not only required by the DVSA but also helps maintain the integrity and accuracy of your testing procedures. Here's a breakdown of what gets calibrated and why it matters: Brake Testing Equipment Roller brake testers are calibrated to verify that they accurately measure braking force, imbalance between wheels, and overall efficiency. The calibration process checks sensor accuracy, roller resistance, and ensures the system provides correct readings under load conditions. Headlight Alignment Tools Proper headlamp aim is vital for safe nighttime driving. The headlamp beam tester is calibrated to make sure it accurately measures the aim and intensity of dipped and full beams, confirming they align with legal standards. Emissions Analyser Systems For both petrol and diesel vehicles, the emissions testing equipment is calibrated to ensure it correctly records pollutant levels, including CO, CO₂, HC, and smoke density. This ensures compliance with environmental regulations and helps reduce harmful emissions on the road. Decelerometers Used during brake performance tests, decelerometers must be accurately calibrated to reflect the real-time deceleration of a vehicle during testing. This helps identify braking faults that may not show up on roller testers. Tread Depth Measurement Tools To maintain road safety, tyre tread depth gauges are calibrated to deliver precise measurements down to fractions of a millimetre. Inaccurate readings could lead to unsafe vehicles passing or failing unnecessarily. Optional: Wheel Alignment Tools Where wheel alignment checks are part of the service, calibration ensures the equipment provides correct measurements for toe, camber, and caster angles, which are critical for vehicle handling and tyre wear. 01614 101370Areas We Cover

01614 101370What is a mot calibration?
An MOT calibration is the process of checking and adjusting MOT testing equipment to ensure it gives accurate, reliable results in line with DVSA standards. This includes tools like brake testers, emissions analysers, and headlamp testers, ensuring they remain compliant and fit for use during MOT inspections. What is a mot decelerometer calibration? An MOT decelerometer calibration is the process of checking and adjusting a decelerometer device to ensure it gives accurate readings during an MOT brake test. A decelerometer is a handheld or in-vehicle device used to measure the rate of deceleration when a vehicle's brakes are applied. It’s commonly used as a backup or alternative to a roller brake tester, especially for vehicles like motorcycles or larger vehicles that can't be tested on standard rollers. During calibration, the technician checks the device against a known reference or standard to verify its accuracy. If it’s not within the required tolerance, adjustments are made, or the device is serviced to bring it back into specification. Accurate calibration is essential to meet DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) requirements and to ensure that the test results are both valid and reliable. Regular calibration also helps avoid false pass or fail results in MOT testing. Tread Depth Gauge Calibration for MOT Tread depth gauge calibration for MOT use involves checking the accuracy of the gauge to ensure it correctly measures tyre tread depth. This is essential for MOT testing, as incorrect readings could lead to unsafe vehicles passing or roadworthy ones failing. Calibration ensures compliance with DVSA standards. |
