If you have never taken a vehicle in for its MOT before, or if you haven’t done so for a while, it is a good idea to read up about the process before you go in to make sure that you know what to expect.

You don’t have to take the car to the MOT test centre yourself if you can’t manage to find time to do so before the current MOT expires. Anyone can present the car to the garage for its MOT, but they can only drive it if they are insured to do so.
