When is my MOT due?

Most vehicles need their first MOT when they’re three years old, then every year after that. You can have your MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and still keep the same renewal date. You can check your MOT due date for free on the GOV.UK website.

What’s checked

The MOT checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards, including:

• Lights, indicators and the horn
• Brakes, steering and suspension
• Tyres and wheels
• Seatbelts and seats
• Windscreen, wipers, washers and mirrors
• Exhaust, fuel system and emissions
• Body and structure, including corrosion
• Registration plates and VIN

Simple checks before your MOT

Lots of MOT failures are down to small things you can check yourself first:

• Walk round and check every bulb, including brake lights and the number plate light
• Check your tyres have at least 1.6mm of tread and no cuts or bulges
• Top up your screenwash and check the wipers clear the screen
• Make sure there are no warning lights on the dashboard

Need an MOT urgently?

If your MOT is due or has already run out, call us. We keep a limited number of same-day slots for urgent jobs. For Class 7 vans, see our van repairs and servicing page for any work needed.
