WHAT IS AN MOT?

A statutory test called a MOT verifies that your car satisfies requirements for roadworthiness, safety, and the environment. They make sure all vehicles on the road adhere to safety regulations intended to safeguard people, property, and the environment as a whole.

Your vehicle must have a MOT three years after it was initially registered, and thereafter annually up until the anniversary of the initial MOT test.

A MOT test certificate is required for every vehicle three years of age or older, and it must be renewed annually. If you own a car, it is your duty to ensure that it is inspected once a year.

In addition to the obvious performance and safety concerns, driving without a current MOT certificate is illegal and prevents you from renewing your road tax. Driving a car without a valid certificate can potentially result in fines of up to £1,000.

Frequently Asked Questions about MOT Checks

MOT originally stood for Ministry of Transport (a now obsolete Government department) and the MOT Test was first introduced in 1960. Originally, it was only conducted when a vehicle reached 10 years old and then every year thereafter. It is a far more wide-reaching test now than it was back then, but vehicles have become a lot more complex!
The MOT is a legal check that ensures your vehicle is roadworthy. Important parts are checked to ensure they meet legal standards but the test does NOT cover engine condition, gearbox or clutch condition.
You cannot renew your vehicle tax without a valid MOT test certificate. You need to renew your tax AFTER it has passed an MOT.
You can be fined £1,000 for driving a vehicle on a public road without a valid MOT test certificate. There are some exceptions.
Driving or parking a vehicle on a public road without a valid MOT is a prosecutable offense, BUT you CAN drive the vehicle to and from an MOT test centre (you may need to prove to the Police that you have a booked appointment). You ARE also allowed to drive it to and from a repair centre (again, you may need to provide evidence if stopped by the Police).
It is illegal to drive a car on UK roads without insurance, even if you are driving it to an MOT test centre. Driving on a public road without cover could result in unlimited fines, 6-8 penalty points or even a lengthy ban. Day insurance can be a cost-effective to insure your vehicle for short periods.
An MOT either passes or fails an MOT.
If the test reveals ‘dangerous’ or ‘major’ problems then it will fail and you may need to get the problems fixed before driving it again. You will be issued with a ‘refusal of an MOT test certificate’ (VT30) and this will be recorded in the DVSA’s MOT database
