Compare Kia MOT quotes from specialist garages

Kia was founded initially as a bicycle manufacturer in 1944 - a humble beginning for what is now one of the world's largest car makers. At the 2023 Autocar Awards, Kia was named 'Best Manufacturer', a prestigious accolade bestowed by one of the leading automotive publications. It also earned 'Car Brand of the Year' at the 2022 Which? Awards and 'Manufacturer of the Year' at the 2022 Top Gear Awards.

Like many car brands, Kia has forged some connections in Hollywood, partnering with Twentieth Century Fox in 2016 to create the Sorento X-Car, inspired by Wolverine, to promote the film X Men: Days of Future Past.

A car MOT is an annual inspection that ensures your vehicle meets acceptable safety and environmental standards. It is a legal requirement to book an MOT test every twelve months unless your car is under three years old.

An MOT consists of dozens of tests, including an emissions test, but it doesn't cover the condition of the clutch, engine or gearbox. The three most common reasons for and MOT failure are lighting/signalling, suspension and brakes.

At the end of the test, you will get an MOT certificate that says whether your car passed or failed. If it fails, you can only drive your car if your current certificate is still valid and the test didn't identify any "dangerous" problems. Otherwise, you must get your vehicle repaired immediately.

Finding an affordable car MOT centre with good reviews is essential because you never know whether your vehicle will require extra work after the test. Fortunately, you're in the right place.
