Question 1:        
Open the bonnet and show me how you would check the oil level. How would you top it up if it were low?

Identify the dipstick, describe how the oil level should be between the min/max level and if it requires topping up, point to the black cap on the

Question 12:

Check the car manual on the driver’s door pillar and use a pressure gauge when tyres are cold.

Question 13:
Tell me how you would check the condition of the tyres so that they are safe and legal.

Check that there are no cuts or bulges in the tyre wall (look for nails too). The minimum tread depth is not less that 1.6mm across the
