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 three years old.
A vehicle Service is an annual task recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer to ensure it continues to run smoothly, with the 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.
MOT Test - Frequently Asked Questions
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.
However, please bear in mind, should your MOT identify any repairs that are needed, this could significantly increase your wait.
If your vehicle is coming in for its first ever MOT test, or if it has had a different registration plate, such as a private plate fitted since it's last MOT, then you will need to bring your vehicle's logbook (V5C).
Otherwise, besides ensuring there is enough fuel in the vehicle to run the length of the test, you need not bring anything with you.

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.

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'.
