What is an MOT Test?

An MOT test (Ministry of Transport test) is a mandatory annual inspection required for most vehicles in the UK. It ensures your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards set by the government.

During the MOT inspection, certified technicians examine key components including brakes, tyres, lights, emissions, suspension, and steering systems.
