Get Your MOT Check at Ferdottis – Stay Road Legal and Safe

Ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy is not just about safety; it’s a legal requirement. At Ferdotti, we provide professional MOT checks for Class IV and Class VII vehicles, helping you stay compliant with UK road regulations. Our skilled technicians perform thorough inspections to ensure your vehicle meets all safety and environmental standards.

What Is an MOT Test?

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual examination required for vehicles over three years old. It assesses various safety components, emissions, and overall roadworthiness. Without a valid MOT certificate, you cannot legally drive your vehicle on public roads, and you may face fines or penalties.

Can MOTs Be Done Early?

Yes, you can have your MOT test done up to one month before your current certificate expires. If your vehicle passes the test, the new certificate will still be valid for a full year from the previous expiry date. This allows you to plan ahead and avoid any last-minute issues that could leave you unable to drive legally.

Can You Drive Without an MOT?

No, it is illegal to drive without a valid MOT certificate unless you are driving to a pre-booked MOT test or a garage for necessary repairs following a failed test. If caught driving without an MOT, you could face fines of up to £1,000, and your vehicle may be deemed unroadworthy, invalidating your insurance.

Which MOT Do I Need?

The type of MOT test required depends on the class of your vehicle:

  • Class IV MOT (£54.85) – Suitable for cars, small vans, and motorhomes up to 3,000kg.
  • Class VII MOT (£58.60) – Designed for larger vans and commercial vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg.

If you are unsure which MOT applies to your vehicle, our team at Ferdottis is happy to assist you in determining the right test.

MOT Testing for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

We can also carry out MOT tests for all electric and hybrid vehicles, ensuring they meet the required safety and roadworthiness standards.

What’s Checked During an MOT Test?

Our MOT test covers a wide range of essential vehicle components, including:

  • Brakes – Ensuring they function correctly and efficiently.
  • Tyres and Wheels – Checking for tread depth, wear, and damage.
  • Lights and Signals – Ensuring all exterior and interior lights work properly.
  • Suspension and Steering – Inspecting for any faults or excessive wear.
  • Exhaust and Emissions – Making sure your vehicle meets environmental standards.
  • Seatbelts and Safety Features – Checking for correct operation and security.

If your vehicle fails its MOT, we’ll provide a detailed report on the necessary repairs and can carry out the work to get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.

When Should You Get Your MOT Test Done?

To help you stay on top of your MOT requirements, we offer a free reminder service. We can send you a notification five weeks before your MOT is due, ensuring you never forget to book your test in time.

You should book your MOT test before your current certificate expires to avoid any legal issues. You can have your MOT test done up to one month before the expiration date, and the new certificate will still be valid for a full year from the previous expiry date.
