Why do we need MOTs?

MOTs are a legal requirement that must be completed to show that your car is road worthy and safe to use. Cars under three years of age aren’t required to have an MOT, but for all vehicles older than this, it is vital. Regular servicing will ensure that your car is kept safe and in good condition, and that you will be able to meet the requirements of your MOT and keep your car on the road.

There’s a large difference between servicing and an MOT. In short, an MOT is simply an inspection which will involve looking at parts of the car without dismantling them, and will highlight any areas of concern. Servicing, on the other hand, will involve full maintenance, replacing any parts that need to be replaced, and will help your vehicle last longer through all weathers and terrain. Regular servicing can be the one thing that helps you to pass your MOT every time and save against costly repairs in the future.

The type of servicing that is suitable for you is dependent on a few factors. First of all, if you use the car frequently for long distances, going over 12,000 miles per year, you may need an additional interim check. A full service should be completed annually or every 12,000 miles, but if you regularly exceed that an interim service can be completed every 6 months.
