Your Car MOT Test – What You Should To Know

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: John Moorie

Cars in the UK which are three years old or more, need to pass an MOT test. The test assesses whether the car meets road safety and minimum environmental standards, without dismantling it, at the time of the test itself. The test doesn't include the condition of the clutch, engine and gearbox. It's also not a guarantee of the general condition of the vehicle. Finally, it doesn't mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the duration of the certificate.

When can a vehicle have its MOT?
The earliest date that your car can have an MOT test is shown on the MOT certificate. Typically this is up to one month prior its expiry date.

Where are MOT tests done?
MOTs are performed at authorised test stations. These can be identified by a blue sign with three white triangles displayed outside their premises. To become a test station, garages must meet specific criteria. This includes using equipment that meets the required standard specification for MOT testing and having designated test bays. There are approximately 19,000 test stations throughout the UK.

How much does an MOT cost?
The MOT fee varies according to the vehicle being tested. It's more expensive to test a HGV vehicle than a car.

What happens during the MOT test?
There's a wide variety of important items that are checked during the MOT test, to see whether they meet the key legal requirements at the time of the test. This includes external elements such as: body and vehicle structure, doors, mirrors, lights, bonnet, tyres, wheels, wipers, washers and registration plates. Internally the seat belts, load security, brakes, suspension, steering and horn are reviewed. For environmental reasons the exhaust emissions are checked too.

The MOT tester will undertake the test and inspect all these areas. The test station must provide a designated area for you to observe the test being completed. During the test, you're not allowed to interrupt the MOT tester.

What happens once the MOT test is completed?
The result is entered into a central database. An MOT certificate is issued to cars that have passed. The computer record itself is the actual proof of a valid MOT, with the certificate simply being a receipt for the test itself. Cars that have failed are issued a red 'refusal to issue an MOT certificate'. Any recommended repairs or items that need checking in the near future are sometimes listed on an Advisory Notice.

If your car has passed you can simply drive away. Your MOT will be valid for one year from the test date. Should you lose the certificate, a replacement can be issued by the test centre for a fee no greater than ₤ 10.

It's common for the remedial to be completed at the test garage, it doesn't have to be, and can actually be done at any garage. Without a valid MOT, driving to and from the garage for the repair work is allowed, along with driving to the test centre.

It is possible to challenge a failed test result. This will involve discussing the result with the test centre before any repair work is undertaken. Appealing against a failed result is done by completing a 'VT17' appeal form (from any test station), online or by phoning VOSA.
