How Do I Know When My MOT is Due?
Most vehicles require an MOT every year once they reach three years old. If you’re unsure when your MOT expires, you can quickly check your MOT status and vehicle tax information using the GOV website.
Driving without a valid MOT can result in penalties and may invalidate your insurance, so it’s important to book your test before the expiry date.
Book Your MOT Test with us
A Ministry of Transport (MOT) test is a legal requirement that takes place annually in order for your vehicle to be considered road safe. When you choose to book an MOT with us, we will make sure that every aspect of your vehicle is thoroughly checked by one of our trained mechanics in Swansea.
In the event that your vehicle fails this test, we can perform any repairs and maintenance necessary to get it to pass. In addition, if you have advisories that you would like sorting straightaway, we will fit you in. Sorting advisories early can be the most cost-effective option than waiting to fix them at a later stage. Plus, it means that you are more likely to pass your MOT the following year.
Free MOT Retest
Should your vehicle fail its MOT, we offer a free retest within 10 working days of the original inspection, helping you get back on the road as quickly as possible.
