The annual MOT test is a legal assessment that ensures that every vehicle in the UK complies with the roadworthy- and environmental standards. It is mandated by the UK law that most vehicles (over three years old since its registration) need to undergo this test once a year. Failing to do so can lead to hefty fines and insurance policies may be void.

About The MOT Certification
Post our thorough assessment, we will determine if there are no, minor, major or dangerous issues in your vehicle.
For vehicles with zero to only minor issues, a VT20 (pass) certificate will be issued. However, if there are major or dangerous issues, we will provide vehicle owners with a VT30 (fail) certificate. All faults will be listed.
Only when all faults are resolved and after a partial re-test has been carried out, a VT20 can be issued, and the vehicle can be legally used on public roads again.
In our garage we can help rectify the issues and also conduct the partial re-test.
