Are you looking for MOT for your vehicle?

It still exists, the car love that lasts a lifetime: Some drive 300,000 or half a million miles with their car, others keep their vehicles for 30 years or more. Then often the old rule applies: ... "till MOT do us part."

However, the first goal is not to pull decrepit vehicles out of circulation. Rather, it's about releasing the safest and cleanest cars on the road. Therefore, if your vehicle is over three years old, you must present it to the MOT testing station every 12 months. If your car fails, you will have to resolve any issues mentioned in the failure certificate.

Why is the MOT test so important?

In many countries, the technical condition or emission behaviour of vehicles is not regulated by law. There you will find cars that are held together only by adhesive tapes and wooden pegs, which pollute the air with dense clouds of smoke and endanger all other road users. This is not possible in in the UK: Here, the requirements for the safety of vehicles in road traffic and environmental protection are very high, and so that this remains and gets regulated, there is the MOT test.

Where do I have the main examination done best?

Right here! Your Premier Tyre And Autocare workshop in Lathom, Skelmersdale will carry out the MOT and the emission test for you.

We always have flexible appointments available so the testing can be done at a time that suits you best.

What happens during an MOT test?

During the MOT, the function of many components and areas in the car are checked to ensure safety.

Sometimes there will be a so-called advisory note attached to the certificate which means, your car has passed the MOT test, but there are a few minor things you should keep in mind as they are not hundred percent right anymore.

If there are more serious problems the car will simply fail the MOT. You will have ten days to resolve the issues mentioned in the MOT failure note.

If everything is alright, you will finally get a new MOT test certificate.

Please note:

In case your car has failed the test, we can certainly take care of it and sort it out for you. If you don't want us to repair your vehicle, you can take it to a different garage. There is no obligation. In order to be able to take your car away, your old MOT test must still be valid. Otherwise, you are not allowed by law to drive the vehicle.

How do I know when my next MOT is due?

It is understandable that you do not always have your next appointment for the MOT test in mind. The due date of the next MOT is stated on your test certificate.

If you leave your email address or telephone number with us, our Premier Tyre And Autocare team will send you a reminder long enough in advance so you can book a convenient appointment with us.

Our tip:

Why not combine your annual service appointment with your car's MOT test? This way, you could get your car checked, eliminate any shortcomings and have the MOT test done afterwards. You only have to take the car to us once which will save you time and money. For any queries or bookings, please get in touch with us.
