What is an MOT Test?

Your Legal Safety Inspection, Required Annually

An MOT test is a legal requirement for vehicles over 3 years old in the UK. It checks whether your vehicle meets current road safety and environmental standards, as set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

MOTs are required every 12 months. Driving without a valid MOT (unless you’re heading to a pre-booked MOT) is illegal and may invalidate your insurance.

When to book

You can book your MOT up to 1 month minus 1 day before the expiry date on your current certificate and keep the same renewal date the following year.
