All vehicles driven on the road must be in a roadworthy condition. The MOT test checks that a vehicle meets, Government specified, minimum road safety and environmental standards. It isn’t the same as having a vehicle serviced and doesn’t check its general mechanical condition.

A vehicle must have a MOT test by either:

The third anniversary of its registration

The anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old

The MOT must be renewed before it expires. The earliest date it can be renewed is one month before it expires – this date is printed on the pass certificate. If a MOT has expired, the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. Driving a car without a valid MOT Test Certificate in force is an offence.

Country Cars and Vans Ltd is an approved MOT test centre for Class 4 & 7 and you’ll find our MOT Test fees and appeals information situated in our customer waiting area. If you wish to wait, there is a viewing facility where you can watch the test being carried out. We only fit original parts or parts of equivalent quality.

Should your vehicle fail its MOT, we can carry out any necessary remedial work, before we retest your vehicle free of charge.
