Why do I need an MOT?

If your vehicle is more than three years old, it’s a legal requirement to have an MOT test every 12 months.
An MOT ensures your car is roadworthy and safe, as defined by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The inspection covers key areas such as brakes, tyres, suspension, emissions, and seatbelts.

If there are some discrepancies during the MOT, then these must be seen to as soon as possible so that your vehicle can pass all the checks and be on the road again in no time. As well as an MOT being a legal requirement, it’s also designed to make sure that your vehicle is in good working order to prevent any future breakdowns and address any wear and tear issues. Finally, in the event of an incident, some insurance policies may ask for a valid MOT certificate to determine your coverage; therefore always important to have it up to date.
