Understanding the MOT Test
An MOT test is an essential evaluation that checks your vehicle's safety, roadworthiness, and emissions standards. It covers various components, from brakes and fuel systems to lights, mirrors, and seatbelts, ensuring everything operates correctly for safe driving.
- Filter & Oil Change: We replace your oil and oil filter annually for optimal performance.
- Electrical Checks: We examine all lights, warning signals, and the horn to ensure everything functions correctly.
- Under Vehicle Checks: We assess the brakes, steering, suspension, exhaust system, and tyres for safety and efficiency.
- Air Filter Check: Ensuring your vehicle's air filter is in good condition to minimise CO2 emissions.
- Under Bonnet Inspections: Our team delves deeper, inspecting the auxiliary drive belt, hydraulic fluid, clutch, and power steering fluid.
- Exterior Checks: Our technicians inspect the exterior for any damage, including the windscreen, wipers, and door locks.

How often do I need to MOT my Toyota?

If your Toyota is three years old or more, it is required to have an MOT test once every 12 months. You will not legally be allowed to drive unless you have a valid MOT certificate. To find out when your Toyota is due to have its first MOT, look for its date of registration.

When your Toyota needs its first MOT

To pass the MOT, your vehicle will go through a series of thorough tests to check that vital components meet the legal standards to ensure the safety of your Toyota on the road. You can take your vehicle in for its MOT from 30 days before to a day before your current MOT expires. If you choose to get your MOT early, your new certificate will not become valid until your current one has expired.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your Toyota receives an MOT test by a trained professional on an annual basis. You could face a fine of up to £1000 and your insurance will become invalid if you fail to get an MOT test. It is illegal to drive without a valid MOT certificate and car insurance.

How long does an MOT last?

An MOT test generally takes between 45 and 60 minutes to complete. However, it is better to allow for a full hour before you collect your vehicle. There are a few things you should consider before you book your MOT:
- Allow time for repairs just in case your Toyota does fail its MOT
- Our test centres have a legal obligation to prevent you from driving away in your Toyota if it does not have a valid MOT certificate
- You may be asked to drop off your Toyota first thing in the morning, just in case it needs repairs
- You should plan to be without your Toyota for an entire day
