Beat the rush
Book your MOT now!
Keep your vehicle safe, road-legal, and ready for the road ahead. Don’t wait until the last minute! Booking your MOT test in advance ensures you secure your preferred time slot and avoid any sudden garage backlogs during peak booking seasons.
Whether your MOT is coming up soon or you want to combine it with an annual vehicle service, planning ahead gives you complete peace of mind and keeps your car running smoothly.
How it works:
- Up to 1 month (minus a day) before expiry: Get your vehicle tested early while keeping the exact same renewal anniversary date for next year
- More than 1 month before expiry: Your new MOT renewal date will reset to 12 months from the date your vehicle passes the test.
How an MOT works:
During the test, important parts on your vehicle will be checked to make sure they meet the legal standards. You can wait but you’re not allowed to interrupt the tester.
The test does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox. The guide and inspection manuals tell you everything that’s tested. Your vehicle can either pass or fail the test. If it fails, you’ll get a list of things that need to be fixed.
If your vehicle passes you’ll get a certificate from the test centre and it will be recorded in the MOT database. The certificate will show the mileage recorded at the current and previous 3 test passes. This is shown as the ‘odometer reading and history’. Report any mistakes with the latest reading to the test centre within 7 days.
