MOT TEST : WHAT'S IN IT ? 
The MOT scheme is primarily a road safety measure designed to ensure as far as possible that all cars, motorcycles and light goods vehicles more than 3 years old
  • are properly maintained
  • at least once a year are examined at an authorised MOT test station to make sure that they comply with certain important requirements of the law
Remember - the test certificate relates only to the condition of the testable items at the time of the test and should not be regarded as evidence of their condition at any other time; nor should it be accepted as evidence of the general mechanical condition of the vehicle.
 
THE TEST 
MOT's are undertaken at garages authorised by the Vehicle Inspectorate to carry out the tests. They are easily identifiable by the blue, 3 triangle MOT Sign.
 
What items are examined in the MOT test? 
We have listed below all the things that are included in the MOT test. Before booking your test, we suggest you do a quick check round your vehicle using this list, a check before the test might save you time and inconvenience.

Remember, we are professional, independent testers. You get what you pay for - a reliable test. We do not repair or replace parts !
