Your local trusted MOT Barnet Test Centre
Convenience, speed and honesty
If your vehicle is over 3 years old, you are required, by law, to have it MOT tested annually from then onwards. So, when was yours last checked?
Cars, motorcycles, vans, and even motor caravans are included. However, if you have a new taxi or a private passenger vehicle with 9 or more seats the law states that it must be MOT tested from its very first year.

Benefits of MOT Testing:
- In the UK, you are annually expected to conduct an MOT Test: According to various reports, the intensity of road accidents has considerably declined over the past few decades due to MOT testing.
-
Your Vehicle’s Health: MOT services review your engine, exhaust and check all of your vehicle’s lights, from the brakes and indicators to indicator lights on the dashboard.
-
Ensure yours and others safety: MOT testing helps the authorities to discriminate between the healthy and unfit vehicles so that this way patrolling security can be increased and accidents can be reduced.
Safety first
The AA argues that scrapping the MOT tests would be a dangerous move that could potentially lead to more deaths on the road as well as serious injuries. Despite the fact only a small percentage of road accidents are caused by mechanical error, we could see a rapid increase in this if MOT’s were to be removed or extended.
From seatbelt safety to emissions, scrapping the MOT process could result in serious issues across the board, from injuries to pollution. With over a third of all cars and vans taken in for their annual MOT failing every year, it is clear that the tests are in fact highlighting key issues with the vehicles ahead of the issues becoming apparent and causing real problems.
