Description
All vehicles 3 years old or more are required to have a valid MOT test certificate which should be renewed annually. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is examined every 12 months. You can find the expiry date of your MOT on your existing MOT test certificate and you can have your vehicle MOT tested up to 28 days in advance. The expiry date on your new MOT is 12 months from the expiry of your old one rather than 12 months from the day you took the test, so as long as your MOT test is due in the next 28 days, you won’t lose any days for having your vehicle tested early.
The MOT test covers the following aspects:
- Lighting and signalling equipment
- Steering (including suspension)
- Brakes
- Tyres and wheels
- Seat belts
- Body, structure and general items
- Exhaust, fuel and emissions
- Driver’s view of the road
