What is an MOT?
An MOT test checks for a vehicle's compliance with the road and environmental safety standards. Car MOT testing is a legal requirement for vehicles that are at least 3 years past their first registration date.
An MOT test service is conducted by an MOT test station to ensure various components of a vehicle comply with the DVSA's minimum standards. If the vehicle passes the MOT test check then a new MOT test certificate is issued.
Why book a service at the same time as your MOT?
The MOT test service is different to getting a regular service as it does not check the general mechanical condition of your vehicle, which is why it's still essential to service your vehicle annually. However, at ClickMechanic you can save both time and money if you book your service and MOT test together. This is because mechanics can:
Undertake the service before the MOT, helping to spot any issues which may fail your MOT.
Complete all required maintenance work in one session, saving you time and preventing you from organising separate servicing and MOT appointments.
Book your MOT test for only £19 when you book a service at the same time!

Frequently asked questions about MOTs
When is my MOT due?
Your next MOT due date will be stated on your last MOT test certificate. If you do not have your last test certificate to hand, you can check when your MOT is due by going to https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk and enter in your vehicle registration number. It will tell you when it was due (and also enable you to view its recent MOT history as well).
How long does an MOT take?
Usually an MOT test takes on average around 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. In that time a certified MOT tester will be able to check all the required points on the government sanctioned checklist.
How much is an MOT?
With ClickMechanic an MOT with collection & delivery costs £19 when booked together with a service (interim, full or major). When booked independently an MOT with collection & delivery through ClickMechanic costs £98. Pricing is the same regardless of location or type of vehicle.
When does my MOT run out?
You can find out when your MOT runs out via your last MOT test certificate. It will state the date until when the last MOT was valid. Alternatively, if you do not have the test certificate or can't find it, you can use the government's MOT check service. Just enter your vehicle's registration number there and the website will show when it is (or was) due.
What does MOT stand for?
MOT stands for 'Ministry of Transport', so when we're talking about an 'MOT test' we're talking about a Ministry of Transport test. The test is a check to verify the condition of a vehicle, with any vehicle over 3 years old, 4 years in Northern Ireland, being legally required to have an MOT test carried out on a yearly basis. The MOT test is carried out at fixed premise garages that have a dedicated MOT bay and a qualified MOT tester.
What happens if I'm caught driving without an MOT certificate?
Driving without an MOT certificate is not only dangerous to you and others on the road but you could also be fined up to £1000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate.
