What are vehicle diagnostics?
Vehicle diagnostics involve the use of specialised tools to scan a car’s onboard computer system for faults. These systems store data and error codes when something isn't functioning correctly — such as the engine, transmission, exhaust, or electronics. A diagnostic scan helps mechanics quickly identify the root of a problem without needing to dismantle parts unnecessarily. It’s commonly used when warning lights appear on the dashboard. Early detection through diagnostics can prevent minor issues from turning into major repairs. Modern cars are full of sensors and electronic systems, so accurate diagnostics are essential for efficient, targeted repairs and safe driving.
What does MOT mean and is it required everywhere?
MOT stands for “Ministry of Transport” test and is used in some countries to refer to annual roadworthiness tests required by law. While the term MOT is common in the UK, many countries or states have similar inspection systems under different names. These tests check whether vehicles meet legal safety and environmental standards. They often include brakes, suspension, lighting and emissions checks. Not all areas require them yearly or at all, especially for newer vehicles. Always consult your local transport authority for the most accurate information. Regardless of the name, regular inspections help ensure vehicles remain safe and roadworthy.
When should I get a diagnostic test?
It’s a good idea to have a diagnostic test done whenever a warning light appears on your dashboard or if you notice strange behaviour like stalling, poor fuel economy or unusual noises. Regular servicing may also include basic diagnostics. Even if no obvious symptoms are present, running diagnostics occasionally — particularly on older vehicles — can reveal hidden issues early. Some faults may not be noticeable while driving but could impact performance or safety over time. Diagnostic tests are quick, non-invasive and can save time and money by pinpointing the exact problem before it worsens or causes more damage.
