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.
Vehicles are changing fast. More software and technology is added every year, electric and hybrid models are surging in popularity and the tools and skills a mechanic used ten years ago won't cut it on today's cars.
