What is an MOT test?

An MOT test is a legally required annual inspection of a vehicle’s safety, roadworthiness, and emissions. The purpose of this test is to ensure that vehicles on the road are safe for both drivers and passengers, as well as for pedestrians and other road users. 

Here in Reading, there are several authorized MOT testing centres, also known as mot-centres. These centres are authorized by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to carry out MOT tests on all kinds of vehicles, including cars, vans, and motorbikes. 

If your vehicle is more than three years old, it is a legal requirement to have it MOT tested every 12 months to keep your car on the road. The MOT test checks various components of your vehicle, such as brakes, suspension, lights, tires, steering, and emissions, to make sure that they meet the required safety and environmental standards. 

While passing an MOT test may seem like an inconvenience, it’s actually for the safety and wellbeing of everyone on the road. Booking your MOT test in advance can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run, and keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come.
