An MOT test is an annual inspection to check that your vehicle meets the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by the law. Not having a valid MOT could result in a fine and penalty points.
An MOT does not cover the condition of your vehicle’s engine, clutch or gearbox – but it does look at other key components of your car, such as: the body of the car, vehicle structure, tow bars, fuel/exhaust systems, seatbelts, seats, doors, mirrors, brakes, tyres/wheels, lights, load security, the bonnet and windscreen, wipers, the horn, steering and suspension, as well as electrical components. A comprehensive list of everything that will be checked can be found on the government website.
An MOT test generally takes 45-60 minutes to complete. Some Eurorepar Car Service centres offer waiting appointments. If you plan to wait with us while we carry out the MOT test, just let us know. We’ll do our best to keep you updated with the progress of your vehicle. If your vehicle passes, you will be ready to drive away immediately.

Advisories and minor faults will not prevent your car from passing but will need to be fixed. Major and dangerous faults will have to be fixed immediately and your vehicle won’t be allowed to be driven until it’s been repaired and re-tested.
