MOT
The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.
​
You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:
​
-
the third anniversary of its registration
-
the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old
​
An MOT lasts for a year. The date it runs out is printed on your current MOT pass certificate. You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. You can get an MOT earlier, but the renewal date for the following year will change to one year (minus a day) from the date the vehicle last passed its MOT.
