What is MOT in the UK?

The MOT is the annual roadworthiness test for most cars and vans in Great Britain. It checks safety items such as brakes, lights, tyres, steering, suspension, structure, and emissions, and confirms the vehicle’s identity. An MOT is not a service and does not guarantee fault-free running after the day of the test. Insurance and vehicle tax are separate legal requirements.

See official guidance and status checks on GOV.UK (MOT history) and GOV.UK (getting an MOT).

When is my MOT due?

Most vehicles need a first MOT three years after first registration, then every 12 months. You can test up to one month minus a day before expiry and keep the same anniversary. If a car fails before the old certificate expires, the original expiry still applies, but you must not drive a vehicle with dangerous defects.

Penalties and compliance

Driving without a valid MOT can lead to fines and enforcement, and your insurance may not cover you. You are typically only allowed to drive without an MOT to a pre-booked test or to and from repairs, and the vehicle must be roadworthy. Renewing tax generally requires a valid MOT, so letting it lapse creates further issues.
