What is an MOT test?

An MOT test is a legal requirement for vehicles over three years old in the UK. It checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. The test covers lights, steering, suspension, brakes, tyres, seatbelts, windscreen, exhaust emissions, and the vehicle structure. Booking your MOT with Kwik Fit ensures the test is carried out by DVSA-approved testers at a purpose-equipped facility.

How much does an MOT cost?

The maximum legal price for an MOT test is set by the DVSA. Kwik Fit offers MOT testing at competitive rates, often below the maximum fee. Prices may vary by location. You can check the latest pricing and book your MOT online through the Kwik Fit booking system.

How to prepare for your MOT

Before your MOT, check that all lights are working, tyres have at least 1.6mm of tread, the windscreen is free of chips, windscreen wipers are effective, and screen wash is topped up. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel for the test. Removing any clutter from the vehicle helps the tester access all areas.

FAQs

How long does an MOT take?

An MOT test typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. Kwik Fit offers an while-you-wait service at most locations, and you can often book online to choose a convenient time slot.

What happens if my car fails the MOT?

If your car fails the MOT, Kwik Fit will provide a list of the reasons for failure. You can have the necessary repairs carried out at Kwik Fit or another garage of your choice. A partial retest may be free within 10 working days.

Can I drive my car without an MOT?

You cannot legally drive a car without a valid MOT, except when driving to a pre-booked MOT test. Driving without an MOT can result in a fine of up to £1,000.

When is my MOT due?

Your MOT is due annually once your vehicle is over three years old. You can check your MOT expiry date using the MotR MOT checker, or on your previous MOT certificate.
