Be Road Safe Free MOT Check MOT Reminder

When DO I need my MOT check?

Once your car is three years old, it needs an MOT check each year. So, take the date of when your car was first registered and add 3 years. The only exception is Vintage cars (cars over 40 years old), as these won’t usually need a MOT test.

Now, keep reading to use our MOT check tool and reminder service.

Be Official With Your MOT Check!

When you are ready to book your next MOT, we’d highly recommend choosing a garage that is an active MOT Testing Station, like us in Wakefield. A certified MOT tester within an official MOT garage will not only guarantee that your car is road worthy, they will be cheaper than going to a garage that sends your car on somewhere else for it’s test. Plus, an official MOT centre will confirm what MOT is due and WHAT MOT you require. Moreover, because the MOT station completes your test, they know what work is required to ensure that you pass!
