Check When MOT is Due

Unsure when your test is due? To find out, simply head over to the government’s easy to use MOT status vehicle registration look up tool.

All vehicles that are driven on public roads must have an annual test from three years of age. The only exception is classic vehicles that were registered more than 40 years ago.

Although classic cars over 40 years of age do not need testing, we advise regular servicing and inspections to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive, for both yourself, passengers and other road users.

Free Retest

If your vehicle fails, don’t worry! Leave it with us to repair or bring it back for testing within 10 working days and we will complete the retest for free.
