MOT

In the UK, the MOT is a compulsory yearly vehicle inspection for cars, motorcycles, and certain vehicles of a specific age. The due date for your MOT depends on your vehicle’s age and previous testing. Generally, vehicles need an MOT test at least once every 12 months, starting from their initial registration date. You can check your MOT due date on your vehicle’s MOT certificate or by contacting the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).

MOT service providers are businesses authorized by the government to conduct these mandatory inspections. They offer MOT testing and issue certificates to vehicles that pass the inspection. These providers can be independent garages or part of larger automotive repair organizations. If your garage offers MOT testing services, you have the government’s authorization to perform MOT tests and provide certificates for compliant vehicles. It ensures that your garage meets the required standards set by the government for conducting MOT tests and maintaining accurate records.
