MOT

Here at the mechanic we have a team of 3 qualified MOT testers so if you need an urgent appointment more than likely we will be able to accommodate you at the time you require.

MOT – MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. They originally created the test as a means to determine if cars were safe to stay on the roads.

What happens during an MOT?

An MOT test takes around 45 minutes, during which time the tester will check the roadworthiness of your car, assessing all its electrical equipment, steering, tyres (including tread depth, pressure and condition), and suspension.

How the MOT test works

During the MOT, important parts on your vehicle will be checked to make sure they meet the legal standards.

You can watch the test from a viewing area but you’re not allowed to interrupt the tester.

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
  • After the 3rd year from now you will require to get an MOT test thereafter every year.

MOT test is carried out to the bare minimum standards, which means for example if the tyre is  almost bold but not actually bold and it’s carrying out its purpose then it will be classed as a pass because it is within the minimum limits, so once you have had an MOT test carried out and if it has  been issued with a pass certificate and has advisories on there then please look to get the advisories  repaired at your earliest convenience.
