All vehicles over three years have to take a Motor Ordinance Test (MOT) every year. This test checks the safety of your car and looks at its emissions.
The test covers the most critical areas that could compromise your safety, the safety of other road users, or the environment. These include lights, emissions, seatbelts, brakes and fuel systems (see below for full details).
You can have your car tested any time within the calendar month prior to the expiry date. This means that when the certificate is issued, it will still be valid until the original expiry date, giving you up to 13 months MOT. MOTs can only be carried out by qualified technicians authorised by the Ministry of Transport.
The current Government MOT rate for cars with up to 8 seats is £50.35
