MOT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:

  • the third anniversary of its registration
  • the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old

Some vehicles need to be tested at one year old, such as Ambulances, Taxis, or Private Passenger Vehicles with more than 8 seats.

Please note, you can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.

An MOT lasts for a year. The date it runs out is printed on the last pass certificate. You can get an MOT for up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keeps the same renewal date

You can’t drive your vehicle on the road if the MOT has run out. You can be prosecuted if caught.

The only exceptions are to drive it:

  • to or from somewhere to be repaired
  • to a pre-arranged MOT test

During the MOT, important parts of your vehicle will be checked to make sure they meet legal standards.

You can watch the test from a viewing area but you’re not allowed to interrupt the tester.

The test does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox.
