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.

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.
