Compare Land Rover full service and MOT quotes from specialist garages

While Land Rover was founded in 1978, most people don't know that the Series I Land Rover actually predates the brand by 30 years, making it the second-oldest four-wheel drive vehicle in history. Land Rover is also closely linked to the Royal Family, providing the first bespoke ‘State Review' car in 1953.

The brand is associated with the spirit of adventure, and it's easy to see why; not only were its vehicles the first to cross the Darien Gap, but they were also supplied for "the Olympics of 4x4" - a competition in which teams of two would drive hundreds of kilometres, tackling the most challenging terrain, competing for a win in Land Rover cars.

An MOT is a standard vehicle roadworthiness test determined by the government, while a full car service isn't a legal requirement and can vary from one garage to the next. However, the two go hand in hand.

Some drivers book a full car service and MOT test at the same time (the MOT should always be done before the service) since they are both carried out annually. Doing so has several benefits: it saves time because you don't have to take two trips to the garage and ensures your car is in excellent condition, preventing future repair bills.

Certain garages may offer a car servicing and MOT deal, which works out cheaper than booking the two jobs separately. That's why, if you want to book an MOT and full service check, you should shop around for the best price on FixMyCar.
