    Getting an MOT

    The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.

    You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:

    • the third anniversary of its registration
    • the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old

    Some vehicles need to be tested at one year old - check the MOT fees table to see which.

    Check your MOT history to see when your vehicle’s MOT expires.

    If the MOT has run out

    1. If your tax is due to run out, register your vehicle as ‘off the road’ - you cannot renew your vehicle tax if your MOT has expired.

    2. Book an MOT test.

    3. Tax your vehicle once it has passed its MOT.

    You cannot drive or park your vehicle on the road if the MOT has run out.

    You can be prosecuted if caught.

    The only exceptions are to drive it:

    • to or from somewhere to be repaired
    • to a pre-arranged MOT test

    Earliest date you can get an MOT

    An MOT lasts for a year.

    To find out when it runs out you can either:

    You can sign up to get reminders that your MOT is due.

    You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.
