With thousands of MOTs performed each year, you can trust us to keep you cruising with confidence!
What is an MOT ?
on all vehicles in the UK that are older than 3 years.
The test follows strict criteria set by the DVSA to determine whether your car is safely roadworthy. A broad range of vehicle safety checks must be completed by an MOT test centre with DVSA-approved examiners, including lights, tyres, seatbelts and emissions.
For a full list of what is included in an MOT, check out the MOT Checklist.

When is my MOT test due?
​
You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:
-
the third anniversary of its new registration
-
the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old
After its first MOT, it will then require one every year on the anniversary of its last MOT.
