MOT – FAQs
An MOT is a legal safety and emissions test to check a vehicle is roadworthy for UK roads.
- First MOT at 3 years old
- Then every year
- Normally about 45–60 minutes, depending on the vehicle and garage.
- No, except to or from a pre-booked test. You risk fines, points, and possibly invalid insurance.
- Up to 1 month (minus 1 day) before the expiry date and you keep the same renewal date.
- You’ll get a failure sheet listing defects.
Dangerous / major defects must be fixed before you can use the car (other than to/from repair or retest).
- Usually no, but it helps to bring:
- V5C logbook if details have changed
- Wheel lock key if needed for wheel removal
- An MOT only checks safety and emissions, not things like oil, filters, plugs etc.
- It may not be, or claims could be affected. Your car must be roadworthy and legal.
- Use your registration number on the official UK government MOT check website.
What our customers are saying
Yesterday was the first time of taking my car to this garage and I was pleased with how fast they did the mot, within 3 hours it was done regardless of other cars being in on the same day as mine. Excellent service and they even helped me with my problem of putting new batteries in both of my key fobs as i was struggling to do them myself due to it being very tricky to remove the casing, I will definately be using them in the future.
Great service kept me informed all the way through. Took van in with misfire. They told me at each stage what was needed, after testing injectors found they were all not very good. They showed me the reports and explained why they all needed to be replaced. My bill was high but this was down to the parts and not the labour. Would use again. Thank you for getting Van up and running Quickly. Thanks you.
