Here, we want to address some commonly asked questions regarding MOT testing.
Yes, you’re legally required to have a valid MOT certificate for all new vehicles over 3 years old. This ensures your vehicle continues to be safe for use on the roads, both for you and other road users. The only exception is vehicles built or registered over 40 years ago, provided no substantial changes have been made to them in the last 30 years.
Nearly a third of MOT failures are caused by faults with lights and signals (29.6%). The next most common faults are from suspensions (20.2%) and brakes (17.2%).
On some occasions, you might pass the MOT test with a few ‘minor’ faults. This tells you that your vehicle has some issues to address; it’s just that they weren’t deemed serious enough to result in a failed MOT test. It’s recommended that you get a local mechanic to attend to any of these faults so they don’t become worse and cause you to have an accident or fail your next MOT.
