An MOT (Ministry of Transport test) is a mandatory annual inspection for vehicles over three years old. It checks key safety components and emissions to ensure your car is roadworthy and compliant with UK regulations. Without a valid MOT certificate, you cannot renew your road tax—and driving without one could result in fines or penalty points.

What’s Checked During an MOT?

Our qualified MOT testers follow DVSA guidelines to inspect your vehicle thoroughly. The test focuses on safety-critical areas and environmental standards, including:

• Lighting & Signalling – Headlights, indicators, brake lights, and number plate illumination

• Steering & Suspension – Ensuring stability, control, and shock absorption

• Brakes – Performance, balance, and wear levels

• Wheels & Tyres – Tread depth, condition, and pressure

• Seatbelts & Restraints – Functionality and security for all passengers

• Windscreen & Wipers – Visibility and washer system operation

• Exhaust System & Emissions – Checking for leaks and pollution levels

• Horn, Mirrors & Seats – Operational and securely fitted

• Bodywork & Structure – Corrosion, damage, and overall integrity

• Fuel System & Cap – Secure, leak-free, and compliant

• Registration Plates & VIN – Legibility and correct identification

The MOT is based on the vehicle’s condition on the day of the test. Our testers assess each component against official standards—if it passes, you’ll receive a certificate valid for 12 months.

When to Book Your MOT

You can book your MOT up to 28 days before your current certificate expires. If your vehicle passes early, the new certificate will still run from the original expiry date—so you won’t lose any time.

We recommend booking in advance to avoid last-minute stress and ensure your vehicle stays legal and safe to drive.

Lost Your MOT Certificate?

If your MOT was carried out at Hoyles of Todmorden, we can issue a duplicate quickly—just provide your registration number and proof of ownership. If your test was done elsewhere, we’ll need your V5C logbook reference number to retrieve the record.

Vehicles We Can Test

We accommodate a wide range of vehicles, including:

• Cars and small vans

• Motorhomes (large and small)

• Minibuses (up to 12 seats)

• Light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
