Why checks are carried during an MOT Test?
All vehicles that go on the road must be kept and maintained to a level set by the governing body VOSA (Now DVSA).
When an MOT is carried out certain checks have to be made to make sure that the minimum standards are met. A vehicle does not require an MOT for the first three years, and there are also different rules if the vehicle is being use as a licensed minicab or taxi.
What does a MOT certificate mean?
A MOT certificate is a snap shot in time and indicates the condition of the vehicle at the time MOT test was done on the vehicle.
It confirms that the vehicle has met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by law.
