About MOT
If your vehicle is 3 years or older you are required by law to have an annual safety check, MOT test. The purpose of the MOT test is to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum safety level required by law.
When does my car need an MOT?
It is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is examined every 12 months. Without an MOT certificate, you will be unable to renew your road tax and your car may not be insured. Having a current MOT certificate is also a legal requirement in the UK.
What should I do if the car fails its MOT?
If the vehicle fails its MOT, it does not meet legal requirements and must be repaired to comply with MOT Test standards.
