When to get an MOT

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, Minibuses and other private passenger vehicles

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

Servicing

Why service your car?

While servicing your vehice is not a legal requirement there are a number of important reasons you should get your car serviced.

Safety
Ensuring your vehicle is serviced regularly can help to identify potential problems before they escalate. Servicing your vehicle will make sure that essential checks are carried out to critical components. This is to make sure that no vital parts let you down when you need them most.
Regular servicing also provides peace of mind that your vehicle is in road-worthy condition.

While your vehicle may feel like its driving ok it doesn’t always mean that everything is in tip-top condition. As your mileage increases so does the wear and tear, but because deterioration is often gradual and unseen you may not see and feel the change.

Maintaining its value
The second hand market is a competeive one. If and when you come to sell your old car you will find that a vehicle with evidence of regular servicing is likely to attract you a higher selling price.

Save Money
It may seem like a big saving to avoid servicing your car each year, however, regularly servicing your car can help to resolve issues early that could later become costly to rectify.
