Getting the most out of your M.O.T

The M.O.T certificate confirms that at the time of the test, without dismantling it, the vehicle met the minimum acceptable environmental
and road safety standards required by law. It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the length of time the certificate is valid.
The M.O.T certificate is also no guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your vehicle. The test doesn’t cover the condition of
the engine, clutch or gearbox.

An M.O.T currently costs £54.85. We offer discounted M.O.T's when booked alongside a service for the same vehicle.
