MOT Test
The MOT is a legal requirement when a vehicle reaches a certain age and assesses whether the vehicle meets the legal, safety, and environmental standards to be considered roadworthy in the UK.
Wiseman Motor Services are an Approved MOT Testing Centre and we perform thousands of MOTs every year. All our MOT Testers complete stringent training and undergo continual reassessment by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) to ensure the service provided to you is of the highest quality.
iNFORMATION & FAQ'S
What is an MOT?
An MOT test is an annual inspection that is required by law on all vehicles in the UK that are older than 3 years.
The test follows strict criteria set by the DVSA to determine whether your car is safely roadworthy. A broad range of vehicle safety checks must be completed by an MOT test centre with DVSA-approved examiners, including lights, tyres, seatbelts and emissions.
For a full list of what is included in an MOT, check out the MOT Checklist.

When is my MOT test due?
You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:
- the third anniversary of its registration
- the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old
After its initial MOT, it will then require one every year on the anniversary of its last MOT.
