MOT

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual legal requirement for all cars over three years old. The purpose of an MOT test is to ensure that your car is in safe working order in accordance with Ministry standards. Without an MOT you will be unable to legally use or tax your car and your insurance may become void.

When is my MOT test due?

To find out if your vehicle has a valid MOT and when your next MOT test is due, check out our MOT Due Date Check and enter your vehicle registration number. Alternatively, you could find your current MOT certificate and look for an expiry date. The MOT can be completed on the vehicle at any time before the expiry date but in order to preserve your existing expiry date, you will need to take your MOT test up to 1 month (minus a day) before it runs out. So, if you MOT runs out on 27th June, the earliest date you can have your MOT test and keep the same renewal date for the next year will be 28th May.
