When you need a MOT Check?
In the UK, an annual MOT test is required for cars after the age of three years. The three-year period begins on the date your car was first registered, which may not coincide with the day you purchased it. Up until the age of four, cars in Northern Ireland are exempt from MOT testing requirements. A MOT test is not required for vintage cars, which are defined as vehicles older than 40, unless they have undergone significant modifications.
Why you need a MOT Check?
Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate is illegal and can result in fines, points on your license, or even a driving ban. An MOT check helps you stay compliant with UK regulations. Regular MOT checks create a documented history of your vehicle’s condition over time. This history can be invaluable when selling your car or when trying to diagnose recurring issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my car fails a MOT test?
You will receive a list of problems that your car needs to be addressed before it passes the MOT if it fails the inspection. These issues need to be fixed, and your car has to be retested.
Can I drive my car when the MOT has expired?
It is against the law to drive a car without a current MOT certificate. You may only take it to a pre-arranged MOT test or to a garage for repairs if it fails the MOT.
How long does an MOT test take?
A MOT test normally takes forty-five to one hour. But, it can take longer if your car requires repairs.
How much does an MOT test cost?
The cost of an MOT test can vary, but there is a maximum fee set by the government. For cars, the maximum fee is typically around £54.85, and for motorcycles, it is around £29.65.
Can I make an appeal if my vehicle fails the MOT?
Yes, if you believe the MOT test was not conducted correctly, you can appeal the result. Contact the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) within 14 working days of the test.
How can I fix a mileage error on my MOT certificate?
Ask the testing facility to verify the mileage if the MOT was done fewer than 28 days ago. Any mistakes can be fixed, and a new certificate can be issued. You will have to notify the DVLA of an error if the test was taken more than 28 days ago.
