What is an MOT?
The MOT test is a mandatory annual examination of car safety, roadworthiness characteristics and emission levels required for all vehicles over 3 years old that are registered on any public road in the UK. If you have a car then it’s vital that you take the MOT every year and you can book this easily online. The MOT gives you a certificate which shows that your car has passed certain basic tests and so can be legally driven on public roads in the UK. However, there are several other factors that you have to take into account when you are taking your MOT.
One of these factors is that your vehicle must not be modified, changed or upgraded in any way before you take the test. You must also ensure that the MOT certificate has not been expired for three years before you take it and that your vehicle is registered in your name only. These are basic criteria, but there are other things that you should make sure are true before you go to the MOT test centre. For more information on Gloucester MOT, visit Swift Fit
Another important factor that you should consider before you take your MOT is whether or not you have any insurance cover for your vehicle. A car must be insured, even if it is only being driven to the test centre.
