What Is An MOT?

In the UK the law requires that all vehicles are kept in a roadworthy condition, once a year the road worthiness of a vehicle is checked and a certificate issued upon a pass on vehicles over 3 years old, this is known as an MOT.

When Is My MOT Due?

Your vehicle will require it’s first MOT once it has reached 3 years of age, from here it needs an MOT once a year for the rest of it’s life to ensure its road worthiness and safety. It is important to remember that the MOT only checks a minimum standard of safety and this needs to be upheld throughout the year and not just achieved for the time of the test, it’s also worth noting that some vehicles have different timescales for their tests such as Taxi’s, commercial vehicles or 8+ seaters.
