About the MOT test

The mot has changed a lot since its introduction in 1960, then it was just a check of the lights, nowadays the complex systems on cars and vans and the strict rules and regulations regarding emissions mean the test has had to develop as well. Now incorporating abs and electronic systems along with the more basic suspension and steering components. We try to keep our customers fully informed about the new additions and changes to the mot test and we are happy to discuss these changes with you.

When your vehicle needs testing

If a vehicle is registered with no prior use on the road, the MOT will be required three years after the date of registration. For example, a vehicle registered ‘from new’ on 1 April 2006 will require an MOT test no later than 1 April 2009. It is an offence to drive a vehicle without a valid MOT and can result up to a £1000 fine.
