Many people ask What is an MOT?

Well, an MOT test is the government's method of verifying that your vehicle complies with basic national safety and environmental standards. 

Common reasons for MOT failures include issues with lighting, signalling, suspension, brakes, and tires. Approximately a quarter of diesel vehicles reportedly fail MOTs due to the more stringent guidelines on diesel emissions. 

The prospect of MOT time can be anxiety-inducing, especially if your vehicle is crucial for work or family commitments. 

At Service My Vehicle, we simplify the process with our straightforward and no-nonsense MOT packages, making it hassle-free for you.

When Is My Car MOT Due?

To find out when your car MOT is due, you can check the expiry date on your current MOT certificate. The MOT certificate provides information about the date of the last MOT test and the due date for the next one.

Alternatively, you can do it online by visiting the official MOT status checker website and enter your vehicle details.

By checking the expiry date on your current MOT certificate or using the online service, you can stay informed about when your next MOT is due.

It's crucial to ensure that your vehicle undergoes its MOT test before the expiry date to comply with legal requirements and maintain the safety and roadworthiness of your car.

Can I Drive My Vehicle Without An MOT?

No, it is not allowed. An MOT certificate expires at midnight on the specified date.

While it is advisable not to wait until the last minute for your MOT test, delaying it poses the risk of being without your vehicle in case it fails. 

Nevertheless, you are permitted to drive to and from an MOT testing station if the appointment has been scheduled.

However if the vehicle has a dangerous defect you must have the vehicle recovered or delivered to your chosen garage. 

Additionally, you can book an MOT test up to 28 days before the current certificate expires

Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT may lead to a fine of up to £1,000

Can The Police Find Out If My MOT Has Expired?

Absolutely! The Police can easily perform a check based on your registration number through data provided by the DVSA

Automated checks are frequently conducted on main roads and motorways using mobile ANPR cameras, scanning registration plates to obtain real-time information about your road tax, vehicle insurance, and MOT status.

Non compliance can lead to a fine and vehicle impound.

What Happens If You Forget To MOT Your Car?

Book it in asap, make us aware that the MOT has expired so we can fit it in with urgency.

Once your vehicle is registered on the Service My Vehicle database, rest assured we will send annual reminders to ensure you stay on the right side of the law.

Is Driving Without MOT A Criminal Offence?

Yes. Under Section 47 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, driving without a valid MOT is a criminal offence.

A genuine mistake may incur an on-the-spot fine of £100, but cases that progress to court can be fined up to £1,000. Higher penalties are made for driving a dangerous or unfit-for-use vehicle

The DVSA now provides text and email reminders as well as online MOT checkers.

What Does MOT Stand For?

The abbreviation MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. This was the government department responsible for roads and road safety when the test was first introduced in 1960. 

In its early years, only cars over 10 years old required the certificate; the age of cars requiring the certificate is down to only 3, under the current system.

The MOT certificate is now monitored and regulated by the Driving and Vehicle Standards Authority (DVSA). 

Is It Illegal To Park A Car On The Street With No MOT?

Yes, it is. Whether you are driving your car or it's parked on the street, it is against the law for a car to not have a valid MOT certificate.

Even if it's not being driven, you could be fined up to £1,000 for failing to have the correct paperwork. You may even have your car seized.

Do You MOT Vans Or Light Commercial Vehicles?

Yes, selected centres at Service My Vehicle do service, MOT and carry out repairs on Class 7 Vans.

We have a number of MOT test centre facilities designed to carry out class 7 MOTs on vehicles weighing between 3,000-3,500kg.
