Mobile MOT Testing

So, what exactly is an MOT? The name comes from the now defunct Ministry Of Transport, and the test is undertaken to evaluate whether a vehicle is safe to be on the road, both for the driver and the other vehicles that it’ll be around. Brake roadworthiness and exhaust emissions are other considerations during an MOT, and the requirements for passing the test have changed as recently as this year. Mechanics need to be authorised to carry out MOT inspections, and our team has a storied history of completing them across Berkshire for our customers.

This test checks various components of the vehicle, such as brakes, lights, tyres, and emissions, to make sure they are in good working condition. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure their car is tested every year to comply with the law and keep their vehicle roadworthy.

Some of the checks include the vehicle's lights, brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, exhaust emissions, and overall vehicle structure. The MOT test is designed to assess the roadworthiness of a vehicle and ensure it is safe to drive on public roads. Vehicles that pass the MOT test receive a certificate that is valid for one year, while those that fail must make the necessary repairs and undergo a retest. Failure to have a valid MOT certificate can result in fines and even the vehicle being deemed unfit for the road.

  • What happens if my vehicle fails a MOT test?

    If your vehicle fails a MOT test, it means that it does not meet the minimum safety and environmental standards required by law. You will be issued a VT30 'Refusal of an MOT Test Certificate' form outlining the reasons for the failure. You will then need to make the necessary repairs and improvements to your vehicle in order to pass a retest.
