What’s Included in an MOT Test?
An MOT is a legal requirement for most vehicles over three years old. It ensures your car meets minimum safety and environmental standards. During your MOT at Wilmoths, our technicians carry out a comprehensive inspection of key components, including:
-
Brakes and braking performance – ensuring your vehicle can stop safely and consistently.
-
Lights, indicators and electrics – checking visibility, signalling and electrical safety.
-
Tyres, wheels and tread depth – assessing grip, condition and legal compliance.
-
Steering and suspension – confirming stability, control and ride safety.
-
Seatbelts and safety systems – ensuring all restraint systems function correctly.
-
Bodywork, doors and mirrors – checking structural integrity and visibility.
-
Exhaust system and emissions – ensuring your vehicle meets environmental standards.
If your vehicle passes, you’ll receive a new MOT certificate valid for 12 months. If it doesn’t, we’ll explain the findings clearly and provide a no‑obligation quote for any recommended repairs.

When Is Your MOT Due?
Most vehicles require an MOT every 12 months once they reach three years old. You can book your MOT up to one month before the expiry date and still keep the same renewal date for the following year. This gives you a useful window to plan ahead and avoid last‑minute stress.
If you’re unsure when your MOT is due, our team can help you check using your registration number. Staying ahead of your MOT date helps you avoid fines, ensures your insurance remains valid, and keeps your vehicle safe for everyday driving.

If your vehicle doesn’t pass, don’t worry — our technicians will provide a clear breakdown of the issues and explain what needs to be done. You’ll receive:
-
A detailed explanation of the failure points
-
A transparent repair quotation
-
Advice on prioritising safety‑critical work
-
Options for genuine or approved replacement parts
Once repairs are completed, we’ll carry out a free MOT retest within the required timeframe.
Keeping You Safe Between MOTs
An MOT is a snapshot of your vehicle’s condition on the day of the test. To keep your car performing safely all year round, we recommend regular maintenance checks. Our service teams can help with:
-
Seasonal health checks
-
Tyre inspections and replacements
-
Brake checks and servicing
-
Battery testing
-
Air‑conditioning servicing
These small checks can prevent unexpected issues and help your vehicle stay in top condition between MOTs.
