Questions
How do I check when my MOT is due?
Enter the registration above. You'll see whether the MOT is valid and the date it runs out, free.
When is a car's first MOT due?
When it's three years old. After that, it's due every year.
How early can I get an MOT?
Up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out, and you keep the same renewal date. Testing any earlier moves your renewal date.
What happens if I drive without an MOT?
You can be fined up to £1,000. The only exceptions are driving to a pre-booked MOT test, or to or from somewhere to be repaired.
Do all cars need an MOT?
Most do. Cars over 40 years old can be exempt if they haven't been substantially changed, so classic cars may have little or no MOT history.
