MOT

MOT Servicing. We are able to put any vehicle through the MOT Service.

Any car registered for use on the road in the EC must pass some kind of mechanical and emissions test – known in the UK as the 'MOT', after the old Ministry of Transport. In the UK cars must be Tested at the end of their third year (if imported, measured from date of manufacture), and yearly after that. The EC directive allows variations on this from state to state.

  • The UK MOT now covers over 150 checks of safety-related and emissions systems.
  • Modern Cars with catalytic converters are permitted less than 10% of the hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions of older cars.
  • 'Computerisation' of the British MOT Test was completed in March 2006, reducing the importance of the paper MOT certificate (although a 'receipt' will still be issued for the Test).
  • September 2005 saw the introduction of Automated Testing Lanes (ATLs), which enable rigorous Testing of steering and suspension and one-man Testing.
