MOT Your Ford

Vehicles Over 3 Years Old are Legally Required to undergo an MOT Test

Vehicles over 3 years old are required by law in the UK to have an annual MOT (Ministry of Transport) Test*. An MOT Test is an inspection of your vehicle to ensure it meets legally set road safety and environmental standards. 

During the MOT test, our Government-Authorised Tester will check your vehicle comprehensively, including the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and underneath the vehicle. The tester records each check and if your vehicle passes the test, you’ll be issued with a VT20 ‘pass’ certificate. 

If your vehicle fails the MOT Test, you’ll receive a VT30 ‘failure’ document. You’ll also be told of any ‘advisory’ items – those that haven’t quite failed the test, but which need careful monitoring.

The MOT Test Covers the Following:

• Vehicle Identification Number
• Registration Plate
• Lights
• Steering & Suspension
• Wipers and washer bottle
• Windscreen
• Horn
• Seatbelts
• Seats
• Fuel System
• Emissions
• Bodywork
• Doors
• Mirrors
• Wheels & Tyres
• Brakes
