You can have your vehicle tested up to 28 days in advance of the expiry date shown on your current MOT certificate.

If your vehicle fails the MOT and is unsafe for the roads, you will be issued a VT30 failure document and supplied with a list of the items that caused the vehicle to fail the test. You may wish at that point to discuss these items with our mechanics and have the necessary repairs made to make your vehicle safe.
