MOT prices
What the MOT covers
The statutory MOT checks that important safety and environmental components meet the required standard on the day of the test.
- Lights, steering, suspension and brakes
- Tyres, wheels, seatbelts and body condition
- Exhaust emissions and other applicable vehicle checks
Combine an MOT and service
Customers can add a Gold Service and other compatible services in the same booking journey. The correct engine-size price is selected after the vehicle lookup.
An MOT and a service do different jobs
The MOT checks specified road-safety and environmental items at the time of the test. It is not a service and does not assess the general condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox. Routine maintenance remains important between tests. Bring any existing warning lights or concerns to our attention when arranging the appointment.
MOT questions
How early can I have an MOT?
For a vehicle whose previous MOT was in Great Britain, you can normally test up to one calendar month minus one day before expiry and keep the existing renewal date. Testing earlier changes the renewal date. See the current GOV.UK MOT guidance for the Northern Ireland exception and full details.
Does my van need a Class 4 or Class 7 test?
For petrol, diesel and hybrid goods vehicles, Class 4 covers up to 3,000kg design gross weight and Class 7 covers over 3,000kg up to 3,500kg. Other categories, including some zero-emission vehicles, have different provisions. Call us with the registration and vehicle weight if unsure; we will confirm the suitable appointment. See GOV.UK vehicle classes.
What happens if the vehicle fails its MOT?
We explain the recorded defects and discuss repair and retest arrangements. A dangerous defect means the vehicle must not be driven until repaired. Any vehicle driven must remain roadworthy; check the GOV.UK rules after an MOT before taking it away.
