What is an MOT Test?
An MOT is a legally required test that checks whether your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required for use on UK roads.
An MOT is not a full mechanical inspection or a replacement for servicing. A vehicle can pass its MOT and still need maintenance or repairs, so it is worth keeping both your MOT and regular servicing up to date.
Your MOT Result can Include:
- Pass - the vehicle meets the required test standard.
- Minor Defects - issues recorded but not causing a failure.
- Advisories - items that may need attention in future.
- Failure - defects that mean the vehicle does not meet the required standard.
