Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MOT and why do I need one?

An MOT is an annual legal inspection required for most UK vehicles older than 3 years. It ensures your car meets DVSA roadworthiness and environmental standards.

How early can I do an MOT?

You can take your test up to one month (minus a day) before your current certificate expires. This allows you to keep the same renewal date for the following year, effectively giving you a 13-month certificate.

How long does an MOT take?

A standard test usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

What happens if my car fails?

If your vehicle fails due to major or dangerous faults, you cannot drive it lawfully. We provide a clear list of repairs needed and can often offer a free re-test if the work is carried out on-site.

Can I drive if my MOT has expired?

Driving without a valid MOT can lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and may void your insurance. The only exception is if you are driving to a pre-booked MOT appointment.
