MOTs and servicing
An MOT test will check that your vehicle meets all road safety and environmental standards. It proves that your car is roadworthy and safe to drive. Every car over three years old must get an MOT each year to comply with UK law.
An annual service involves a comprehensive check of your vehicle's condition, and a refresh of essentials such as engine oil, fluid and coolants, and replacement filters, if required. You should get a service at least once a year, but if you drive a lot, your car might need to be serviced more regularly. Servicing should be completed according to your vehicle manufacturer’s schedule. Booking a car service at the same time as your MOT provides total peace of mind and confidence that you’re ready for the journey ahead.
