MOT Testing
If your vehicle is 3 years or older you are required by law to have an annual safety check, commonly known as an MOT Test. The purpose of this test is to ensure that your vehicle meets the minimum safety level required by law.
During the MOT test, our MOT Tester (authorised by the government body VOSA) conducts an inspection and a comprehensive series of checks around the vehicle, including the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and under the vehicle. The result of each check is recorded.
If the vehicle passes, a VT20 "Pass" Certificate is issued.If the vehicle fails to meet the required standard, a VT30 "Failure" Certificate is issued.
Items that are not classed as a failure, are drawn to your attention and recorded as "advisory" items.
