What is an MOT?

MOT tests are legally required for most vehicles over 3 years old. It’s important to choose a qualified and accredited garage for this test. At Approved Repair Centre, we proudly offer fully qualified MOT testing. Our comprehensive inspections cover all key aspects of your vehicle, including brakes, exhaust, and overall structure.

How often do you need an MOT?

Any vehicle over 3 years old needs a valid MOT test certificate, which must be renewed every year. If your vehicle is less than 3 years old, you don’t need an MOT test until it turns 3. After that, you must renew it every 12 months.
Some vehicles, like ambulances and taxis, need an MOT test every year from the start.

How long is an MOT certificate valid for?

An MOT certificate is typically valid for 12 months from the expiration date of your previous certificate, not from the day of the test. This means it’s important to remember when your MOT expires to avoid driving with an expired certificate. You can check the expiry date on your current MOT certificate.

Do I need an MOT?

Yes, an MOT is legally required to make sure your vehicle is safe to drive and not emitting too much pollution. If you don’t have a valid MOT, you could face penalties.
