Pre-MOT checklist for C4 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto owners

Based on the failure profile above, ten minutes with a torch before your test removes the most likely fail items:

Replace smeared wiper blades and top up washer fluid — both are test items
Bounce each corner and listen for clonks over speed bumps — suspension is this model’s (and the UK’s) top failure system
Check tread with the 20p test and inspect sidewalls for cracking — tyres close to the limit are the country’s most common advisory

Check the engine before the tester does
