What Is an MOT Test?

An MOT test is a legally required annual inspection for most vehicles over three years old. The test assesses whether your vehicle meets the minimum road safety and environmental standards required to be driven legally on UK roads.

​

During the inspection, key components are checked, including:

  • Brakes and braking performance

  • Tyres and wheel condition

  • Steering and suspension

  • Lights and indicators

  • Windscreen, wipers and washers

  • Seatbelts and safety systems

  • Mirrors and visibility

  • Exhaust system and emissions

  • Registration plates

If any defects are identified, we'll explain the issue clearly and advise on any repairs required.
