What is a MOT ?
Applicable to all vehicles in the UK aged three years or older, this test adheres to stringent criteria established by the DVSA to assess your car's roadworthiness. Conducted by MOT test centers with DVSA-approved examiners, it encompasses a comprehensive range of safety checks, covering aspects such as lights, tires, seatbelts, and emissions.
For a detailed breakdown of what's involved in an MOT, please refer to the MOT Checklist.
