MOT FAQs

How much does an MOT cost?

[Confirm final MOT price with garage — DVSA maximum fee for a standard car is £54.85.]

How long does an MOT take?

A standard MOT test itself takes around 45–60 minutes. We recommend booking ahead, though we can often fit same-day tests in subject to availability.

What happens if my car fails?

We'll explain exactly what failed, in plain English, and give you a no-obligation quote to fix it. If it's minor and safe, we can often complete the repair and retest the same day.

Can I bring my car in early?

Yes — you can test up to a month (minus a day) before your current MOT expires without losing any time on your renewal date.
