FAQs
Got a question about MOTs, servicing, or repairs? Here are the answers to the questions our customers ask us most.
What is an MOT?
An MOT test is a point-by-point assessment designed to check whether or not your car or vehicle is safe enough to drive on public roads. Every testing garage uses the same components and structural parts of your car regardless of the make and model.
When is my MOT due?
Broadly speaking, new vehicles under 3 years old will not require an MOT based on the assumption that they’re in good condition. However, any vehicle will be due for an MOT by the third anniversary of its registration. If the vehicle is over 3 years, then the MOT is always due on the anniversary of the previous MOT.
Some vehicles may need an MOT at one year old. The MOT fees table gives this information and more.
How much will an MOT cost me?
The total cost of an MOT is regulated and there is a maximum amount that test stations can charge. While the cost varies depending on the type of vehicle, a car costs a maximum of £54.85 and for a standard motorcycle, it’s £29.65. The MOT fee is VAT free.
What will happen if my vehicle fails the MOT?
If your car or vehicle fails the MOT, by having a dangerous or major problem, you will not be allowed to drive your vehicle again until the problems have been fixed.
Can I drive a car after the MOT expires?
It is illegal to drive your vehicle on the road after the MOT has expired, and you can be prosecuted if you are caught. The only two exceptions to this law are when:
- You are driving to or from somewhere to be repaired.
- To a pre-arranged MOT test.
What is the difference between an MOT and a service?
An MOT is designed to check whether or not your car or vehicle is safe enough to drive on public roads. In contrast, a service is designed to maintain the mechanical aspects of the vehicle and get it running at its very best. A service is not mandatory by law, but it is highly recommended to get regular services to keep the car in a good condition for safety purposes.
Can I check if a car has failed an MOT before?
Yes, you can, by simply using the DVSA’s MOT History checker to view details on your vehicle’s past MOT test results. You can find out whether it has passed or failed the MOT, where the test took place, and which parts failed at each test.
