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.

Why Choose Wilmoths for Your MOT?

We understand that an MOT can feel inconvenient or stressful, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. That’s why we’ve designed our service around clarity, fair pricing and complete transparency.

Benefits of booking your MOT with us:

  • DVSA‑approved testing for total peace of mind.

  • Manufacturer‑trained technicians who know your vehicle’s systems in detail.

  • Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras.

  • Genuine parts and approved repairs if your vehicle needs work.

  • Comfortable waiting areas if you choose to stay during your test.

  • Flexible appointment times across all Wilmoths locations.

  • Friendly, knowledgeable service advisors ready to answer your questions.

We believe in honest communication. If your vehicle requires repairs to pass its MOT, we’ll talk you through the findings in plain language — no jargon, no pressure, just clear advice so you can make an informed decision.

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.

What Happens If Your Vehicle Fails Its MOT?

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.

Jarretts Motors Limited trading as Wilmoths Citroen and Wilmoths is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Jarretts Motors Limited trading as Wilmoths Citroen and Wilmoths to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

 

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

 

Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

 

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
