What should I do if the car fails its mot?

Posted by: Euro Lane Date: Feb 3 2011 : MOT Comments: 0 Comments

If the vehicle fails its MOT, it does not meet legal requirements and must be repaired to comply with MOT Test standards. The notes on the back of the report your Nominated Tester gives you will help you.

If you think the Nominated Tester has been unfair you can appeal against the decision. Ask for a VT17 form that explains what to do.

At Eurolane MOT testing centre, we offer a 10 day re-test free of charge. For more details on how you can claim a re-test free of charge please call us on 01280 822 822

What do I need to take with me?

Once you have booked your vehicle in for its MoT, remember to take your Vehicle Registration Document – often referred to as the ‘V5′ document – and a means of paying the current fee.

You can book an MOT up to 28 days in advance of its due date. In fact it is not widely known that the expiry date on your new MOT is 12 months from the expiry of your old one. This means you could have an MOT that last 13 months.

The MoT certificate is only required if you would like the new MoT to run for more than 12 months.
