It Is The Law!
Getting a yearly MOT is the Law. It is required for every car owner to have an MOT completed on their car every year from when the car is 3 years old. If you do not complete this, you are breaking the law and can be pulled over by the police and arrested for driving with the requirements.
It’s A Yearly Health Check
Your MOT is essentially your cars yearly health check. It is a full check of every aspect of your car that ensures it is running safely. It is at this time that engineers will be able to spot issues early on and fix them for you. If they are not major they will be written down as an advisory for you to solve at a later date.
