What Is Mot Testing?

Is Your Car More Than 3 Years Old?

Vans & cars older than 3 years legally have to be tested annually to show they are maintained to a standard which will not cause harm to the occupants or other road users or pedestrians. Introduced in 1960 to deal with the huge amount of injuries caused by unsafe vehicles the mot is now a fully online system which is live to the test station.
