An MOT is a mandatory inspection of a vehicle and underpinned by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (part of the UK Department of Transport).
Most cars, vans, and motorcycles must undergo their first MOT at three years of age. After that, they must be retested every year to keep them safely and legally on public roads.
DVSA sets strict criteria that determine if a car is roadworthy. It includes emissions status and DPF cleaning.
There is a wide range of vehicle safety checks on each car MOT, and MOT testers are approved examiners via the DVSA.
What gets tested in an MOT?
Your local car repairs garage include tyres, seatbelts (including the seatbelt load limiter), lights and emissions.
During the car inspection, the MOT tester will carry out a comprehensive inspection of your vehicle to checks the roadworthiness of car parts.
A local garage MOT inspection doesn’t examine the engine’s working parts that are usually examined during a full or interim service.
Remember, the condition of your car is applied on the day of the test. As a driver, it is your responsibility to maintain your car and ensure it is fit for purpose and in a good roadworthy condition.

My car has passed its MOT tyre size
If your vehicle passes its assessment, it will produce a passed MOT certificate. It includes items on the vehicle that are worn but not deemed unroadworthy or broken. Known as MOT advisory notes, you will receive a list of items that will need to be replaced in the coming months.
My car has failed its MOT, what next?
If your vehicle fails its MOT, you will get a list of dangerous or significant (major) faults. These car parts may be repairable or must be replaced for the car to warrant a valid MOT.
In some circumstances, your car can be repaired the same day with a free MOT retest. Vehicles with MOT advisory codes have passed their test, but some car parts are worn and will need replacing in the coming year. For details, read this MOT advisories explained driver’s maintenance guide.
MOT certificate renewal
UK vehicles over 3 years of age need a valid certification. Tests must be carried out every year, regardless of the mileage travelled across the preceding 12-months.
If your car is less than 3 years old from first registration, it does not need certificate.
This is also true from Class 7 light commercial vehicles weighing 3 tonnes to 3.5 tonnes. It also includes motorhomes weighing up to the same limit.
Taxis and ambulances are usually tested after 1 year of being on the road.

MOT test centres report and common MOT failure
Some vehicle repair can be sorted out at home, a crucial step in saving time and avoiding an MOT retest.
Common failures include:
Light (headlamp aim check)
Seat belts
Broken registration plate
Windscreen glass (stone chips in the driver’s line of vision exceed 10 mm)
Split wiper blades
A varying tyre size
You can check and fix these quickly and cheaply. However, repair costs at your MOT centre are likely to be expensive, and you’ll need a MOT retest.
MOT expiry date and driving on the road
You are not permitted to drive your car on the road without a valid MOT test certificate, and you can’t tax it.
DVSA issue significant penalties to motorists who avoid or forget to keep their MOT tests up to date. In 2021, fines can be up to £1,000. In addition, should your car be found with dangerous parts, a fine of up to £2,500 may be issued with 3 points on your driving licence.
Classification of dangerous car parts includes significant impacts upon the environment (often emissions failure such as a damaged catalytic converter) or immediate risk to road safety.
