MOT IV

The Ministry of Transport launched the MOT test in 1960, a mandatory annual examination for your car during which various parts of your vehicle are inspected to ensure they are properly operating and roadworthy. For vehicles older than three years, passing the MOT test annually is a requirement.

Although the original purpose of this test was to evaluate vehicles older than ten years, but according to new MOT standards revised in 1967, vehicles older than three years must obtain a "VT20" or "PASS" MOT certificate.

Checks performed during an MOT test

Here is the list of vehicle components that we check during the MOT test:

Certificates

VT20: A VT20 certificate is provided to you if your vehicle passes the MOT Test without any issues or with only minor issues. If any small defects are found, you will receive an advisory notice to address the concerns and get them fixed.

VT30: If there are major or dangerous problems that compromise your overall driving safety, your vehicle will fail the test, and you will receive a VT30 certificate. After that, you are not permitted to operate the car on public roads. Before you can drive the vehicle again, all problems must be fixed, and a partial retest must be completed.
