MOT testing is a legal requirement for all vehicles over three years old, with the purpose of making sure that your car meets the minimum safety requirements. Without a valid MOT, your car insurance and road tax become invalidated and your car may not be road worthy. Therefore, it is important that you make sure your MOT certificate is in date and you book your next MOT before your current certificate expires. You can do this up to one month before the end of your current MOT certificate.

To book your MOT, simply provide the details of your vehicle and where you are located on our contact form or by just giving us a call. We can collect your vehicle from your home or workplace and complete the work authorised and return it to you, washed and vacuumed.

MOT and car repair services

You can watch the team MOT your car and after that our engineer will guide you through any problems with your car and seek your authorisation before any work is carried out.

Details of any faults found and repairs carried out will be fully documented and you will be invited to complete a questionnaire after the work is done to ensure you were happy with the service you received. Servicing is carried out to the car manufacturer's schedule and specification.

MOTs: the rules

MOT it's a safety and legal must for cars or any other vehicle.

The test information is held on a central database as well as on a paper certificate. It's the vehicle owner's responsibility to ensure their car's certificate is valid, not for the authorities to chase.

You need a test when the car's three years old, then annually after that. Timing is crucial, though. Get a test in the month before the current certificate ends and the new one will expire exactly a year from the original's end date.

  • If your car's out of certification, you can drive it to the test centre provided the test's been pre-booked
  • The maximum test costs are £54.85 for cars
  • Get a test before the current certificate ends
  • The test information is held on a central database as well as on a paper certificate
