All vehicles in the UK that are older than three years need to have an MOT test done on an annual basis. You can find the expiration date of your MOT by checking online and it will tell you when the MOT has expired.
When you know the date of your MOT expiration, you should then get your vehicle booked in with a professional like this MOT Gloucester based company 123carandcommercial.com/gloucester-mots/ who will be able to perform the test for you. You can book your vehicle in up to a month before it is due to be tested, so don’t worry if you are not able to take it in on the exact day.
It is a good idea to check your car yourself before you take it in for an MOT. Many of the reasons for a car failing the MOT test are things that you can easily amend beforehand and save the hassle of having a failed test.
Doing things like making sure that windscreen wash, oil and water are topped up, checking that windows are all clean and making sure that there are not any obvious problems with the tyres are all things that you can check before you take your car in.
If your MOT has expired already, then it is not legal to drive your car and it also invalidates your insurance. In this case the only place that you can drive your car is to the garage that is going to be doing the MOT test for you.
