To ensure that your MOT in West Molesey is on time, each and every year, you can even register your details with our MOT testing centre, and we’ll send you a reminder one month before it’s due again.

West Molesey Car MOT Guide

A standard Class 4 MOT involves our experienced team undertaking a meticulous inspection of the essential elements of your car that it needs to meet roadworthy, legal requirements. This includes attention to the chassis, where signs of long term corrosion may be beginning to appear. We will also check your brakes and fuel system, the lights front, back and side, internal essentials like seatbelts and mirrors – everything down to your windscreen wipers. Our MOTs in West Molesey cover every essential element of your car, other than the existing condition of the engine, clutch and gearbox, which can also be checked, if your annual car service is also booked in.

What does MOT stand for?

MOT is an acronym for Ministry of Transport. It is the Ministry of Transport that legally requires you to prove, by taking your vehicle to a MOT specialist, that it continues to comply with a number of requirements. Once a car is 3 years old, it is required to have an MOT inspection, by law, every 12 months. If your car passes its MOT, its pass certificate is valid for the next year under Ministry of Transport regulations.

What if my car fails its MOT?

In the event that your car fails its MOT, you will be given a VT30 – essentially a ‘Refusal of MOT’ certificate. While you will not be immediately required to pay for the necessary repairs needed on the spot, at this point you are not allowed on the road, unless driving it to a garage for repairs. When the repairs are complete, your car will need to be tested to MOT standards again, before a valid MOT certificate is issued.

How do I know if my MOT is due?

Your last MOT certificate will tell you when 12 months from your last is up, while you can also input your registration online to check, by visiting the Vehicle Tax, MOT and Insurance section of the gov.uk website. However, if your vehicle is less than 3 years old, it’s important that you organise an MOT before it reaches its third birthday.

How long does an MOT test take?

It would usually take around 45 minutes to complete a full MOT test, unless certain complications arise. In most circumstances, if you were to leave your car for an hour, with a reliable professional, the test will be complete when you return. At this point you would only have to wait longer for your certificate to be issued, if it isn’t already, or if any aspect of the MOT needs to be discussed (for instance, why it has failed and what you are advised to do).
