When is my MOT due?

A vehicle’s first MOT is due three years from the date of it’s first registration (this is detailed on your vehicles log book or V5/c) and will need a valid MOT test certificate annually from there on after.  A Vehicles MOT history can be checked online at www.gov.uk/check-mot-status

F.A.Q.

When is my MOT due?

A new vehicles 1st MOT is due 3 years from the vehicles 1st date of registration. This date is found on your vehicle log book/V5c.

MOTs are then due every 12 months. A vehicles MOT history can be checked online at: www.gov.uk/check-mot-status.

You can renew your MOT up to 28 days before it expires without affecting your annual expiry date. You can check when the earliest date to MOT your vehicle is by checking the front of your current MOT pass certificate.

What do I need to bring with me?

All you need is your vehicle. A previous MOT certificate and/or V5 is helpful but not essential.

My MOT test has expired, can I drive to the MOT test station for a test?

You may drive to and from a test station on the day of test, so long as the vehicle details are given to the test station at the time of booking. The vehicle must have valid road tax and insurance.

What if my vehicle fails its MOT?

We offer a free retest within 10 working days. Failure work can be carried out by us or a 3rd party and will still qualify for a free retest. Simple failure points, i.e. a blown bulb, split wipers, bald tyres can normally be carried out straight away or you can request a quotation for failure work and if accepted we will proceed with the work that day (parts availability and time constraints permitting). It may often be more convenient to rebook the vehicle within the free retest period.
