Why do you need to book an MOT?
In the UK it is a legal requirement for all vehicles over 3 years old to undergo an annual MOT Test to check for vehicle roadworthiness and emissions. This is a basic safety test to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive and adheres to current legislation.
Driving without a valid MOT is illegal and can result in a heavy fine and potentially penalty points on your licence. It can also invalidate your insurance, leaving you unprotected in the event of an accident. With ANPR cameras in use today, authorities can easily catch vehicles without a valid MOT certificate.

The average UK MOT Test costs between £35-£50 and currently it is capped by the DVSA at £54.85 for cars.
