What is an MOT?
The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either: the third anniversary of its registration or the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old. Some vehicles need to be tested at one year old
The MOT Test
Your vehicle can either pass or fail the MOT. If it fails, you’ll get a list of things that need to be fixed.
Passing the MOT
If your vehicle passes the MOT, you’ll get an MOT certificate from the test centre it will be recorded in the MOT database. The MOT certificate will show the mileage recorded at the current and previous 3 test passes. This is shown as the ‘odometer reading and history’. Report any mistakes with the latest reading to the MOT centre within 7 days. They will give you a replacement certificate.
Failing the MOT
If your vehicle fails the MOT, you’ll get a ‘refusal of an MOT test certificate’ from the test centre it will be recorded in the MOT database.
Driving a vehicle that’s failed
You can take your vehicle away if your MOT certificate is still valid. If your MOT has run out you can take your vehicle to, have the failed defects fixed a pre-arranged MOT test appointment In both cases, your vehicle still needs to meet the minimum standards of roadworthiness at all times or you can be fined. You can be fined up to £2,500, be banned from driving and get 3 penalty points for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition.
