In the UK it is mandatory to have an MOT inspection every year from when the car reaches 3 years old.
Depending on the age or condition of your car you may want to give the car a thorough check-up at a good garage, before your car undergoes its MOT test. If there are any problems, you should have the repairs carried out before testing to avoid further re-testing.
It is your responsibility, to get your car MOT tested. If the date of the MOT is exceeded, you may only drive the car if it is driving to a certified MOT center. If you drive without a valid MOT certificate your accident insurance is invalid and you could also face prosecution and a large fine.
At an MOT, the car’s overall condition will be checked, with a focus on safety and the environment. It includes checks such as:
It isn’t the same as having your vehicle serviced and doesn’t check its general mechanical condition. This is often why many car owners have a general service on their car at the same as the MOT.

Nowadays garages offer a pre-MOT, in order to give you an idea if any work needs to be carried out before the actual MOT test. This is a popular option as it does not invalidate your current MOT (if it hasn't already expired).
You can find out which of our garages offer a pre-check and MOT inspection here.

An MOT test checks the safety and environmental aspects of your BMW, Nissan, Kia or other make of vehicle, to ensure they meet the minimum legal standards. All cars, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Peugeot and Renault, must have an MOT test each year once the vehicle is over three years old. If an MOT test finds your car does not meet the required safety and environmental standards, you will need to make repairs and have your vehicle retested. When an MOT has been successfully passed, you’ll receive a certificate that enables you to legally drive on UK roads for 12 months.
