When does my car need an MOT? Originally called the Ministry of Transportation test, an MOT is an annual examination of a vehicle that is three years old or more. The MOT tests both the safety of your vehicle and the level of emissions in the exhaust.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is examined by MOT every 12 months. Without an MOT certificate, you cannot renew your road tax. Having a current MOT certificate is also a legal requirement in the UK. Nominated Testers are qualified to assess your vehicle against specific safety criteria and to pass it as acceptable and safe.



THE CROSS GARAGE MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS. The acceptable standards are as recorded in the current Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) Vehicle Inspection Manual.

The MOT assessment is based on the state of the vehicle on the day tested.



What do I need to take with me? Once you have booked your vehicle in for its MoT, remember to take your current MoT certificate and a means of paying the current fee.

You can book an MOT up to 28 days in advance of its due date. In fact it is not widely known that the expiry date on your new MOT is 12 months from the expiry of your old one. This means you could have an MOT that last 13 months.

What should I do if the car fails its MOT? If the vehicle fails its MOT, it does not meet legal requirements and must be repaired to comply with MOT Test standards. The notes on the back of the report which your Nominated Tester gives you will help you.

THE CROSS GARAGE GIVE YOU A GREAT MOT DEAL.
