Arranging for your MOT should be a stress-free process however some motorists find arranging for their MOT test unnecessarily stressful. The MOT testing process is standardised across testing centres therefore it’s of the utmost importance to find a reputable MOT centre that you can trust that takes your requirements into consideration.

Arranging for an MOT Test

Arranging for an MOT test should be as stress-free as possible. You are required to arrange an MOT test at the specific date specified for your MOT. The earliest that you can arrange for your MOT test is up to one month minus a day before the current MOT certificate expires. However, the date of your MOT certificate will remain the same regardless of whether you take the test early. 

If you want to check when your next MOT is due, you can use the Vehicle Enquiry Service provided by the UK Government which allows you to check the tax status of your vehicle as well as when your next MOT date is due:

Why You Need to Find a Reputable Testing Centre Such as Autocentres

The MOT test is standardised and is designed to ensure that there is a baseline level of safety for all vehicles that are on the road. Because of the fact that the test is standardised – testing machines and mechanics are looking to ensure that the vehicle that is being tested passes these checks. 

“An MOT involves dozens of checks on your car, ranging from the brakes and fuel system to lights, mirrors, seatbelts, windscreen wipers and exhaust system.”

You will have various categories for passes and fails which are listed below:

If your vehicle is found to have a dangerous fault – you will not be allowed to drive away until the issue has been rectified or repaired. You can agree to the original garage’s quotation or look around for other quotations.

If your vehicle is found to have a major fault – you may be able to drive your vehicle away. This depends on whether the vehicle is roadworthy and the MOT certificate has not expired.

You are able to drive your vehicle to the MOT testing centre if your MOT certificate has expired if you have a pre-booked MOT test or you are driving to have the faults repaired. Driving a car that is not roadworthy or without a valid MOT certificate for any other reason could result in a driving ban, a £2,500 fine and 3 points on your license.

Schedule Your Next MOT Test With a Trusted MOT Testing Centre
