MOT Testing in Kent

An MOT is a legal annual check that confirms your vehicle meets minimum road safety and environmental standards. Most vehicles over three years old need a valid MOT to stay on the road.

Driving without one isn't just risky — it's against the law and can invalidate your insurance. Staying on top of your MOT keeps you safe, legal and protected.

Here's the simple version:

• Who needs one — Most cars, vans and light vehicles over three years old.
• How often — Once every 12 months.
• Why it matters — It keeps you road-legal and flags safety issues early.

An MOT test in Medway covers all the key areas that affect your vehicle's safety and emissions. Our testers inspect each one thoroughly and explain anything that needs attention.

• Brakes — Pads, discs, lines and overall stopping performance.
• Tyres and wheels — Tread depth, condition, size and security.
• Lights — Headlights, indicators, brake lights and reflectors.
• Steering and suspension — Checked for wear, play and safe handling.
• Seatbelts — Condition, security and proper operation.
• Windscreen and wipers — Damage, visibility and washer function.
• Exhaust and emissions — Checked against environmental standards.
• Bodywork and structure — Inspected for corrosion and sharp edges.

An MOT does not cover the mechanical condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox — that's what regular servicing is for. If you need both, we can handle your MOT and service together.
