THE MOT TEST

You can book an MOT up to a month before your current certificate expires, without losing any time on your renewal date — so there’s no need to wait until the last minute.
If your vehicle is over three years old, it must legally be kept in a safe, roadworthy condition, and the MOT test checks that it meets the required road safety and environmental standards.

An MOT test covers a wide range of checks across your vehicle’s safety and emissions systems, including:
  • Lighting and signalling equipment (including fog lamps and reversing lights)
  • Steering and suspension
  • Brakes
  • Tyres and road wheels

  • Bodywork, structure and general condition
  • Exhaust, fuel and emissions systems
  • Driver's view of the road
