Yes, you are more than welcome to wait in the customer reception while your MOT test takes place. An MOT test usually takes around 45 minutes, but we always allow an hour to be on the safe side.

If your vehicle fails it's MOT Test, you will need to have the defects identified as 'major' or 'dangerous' repaired to enable the vehicle to pass a re-test and attain a valid MOT certificate. 

There may also be 'Minor defects' (Repair as soon as possible) or 'Advisories' (Monitor and repair if necessary) listed on your MOT Certificate or Refusal of MOT. 

Having failed its MOT test, your vehicle may not be legal to drive until it is repaired and re-tested. 

We have no right to withhold your vehicle from you, should you choose to take it away, but in doing so, you would be driving illegally. 

If you wish to take your vehicle away to be repaired elsewhere, you are only legal to do so if your current MOT certificate is still valid and the vehicle did not fail with any defects listed as 'dangerous'. 

It is important to bear in mind that an MOT test and a Vehicle Service are not the same thing.

An MOT test is an annual inspection consisting of specific checks designed to ensure that your vehicle meets the minimum road safety and environmental requirements of the UK. It is a legal requirement to have an MOT test carried out every year once a vehicle is three years old.

A vehicle Service is an annual task recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer to ensure it continues to run smoothly, with a focus on preventative maintenance. A vehicle service involves renewing parts vital to the general health of the vehicle before they begin to fail, as well as performing more in-depth inspections of critical vehicle components.

A vehicle passing its MOT test does not mean it has a “clean bill of health” and is in perfect working order. If you want to keep your vehicle well-maintained and minimise the chance of unexpected faults developing, you should book a Vehicle service at least annually, and more regularly for particularly high mileage vehicles.
