MOT CHECKS MOTs are a legal requirement. Every year, cars over three years old need to have a check to make sure they are roadworthy and meet the environmental standards set by the government. Without this test, your vehicle insurance will become invalid as your car may not be safe to be on the road. Testimonials “Really friendly garage and great service.
