When is my MOT due?
Put your reg in and you'll get the whole record. When it runs out, every fault at every test, the mileage history, and anything that keeps coming back.
Straight from the official DVSA record. Free, and takes a second.
Check any registration
Type the reg in and we'll pull the full DVSA record. No sign up, nothing stored.
Free. Straight from the DVSA MOT record. We don't store your reg unless you ask for a reminder.
Driving without one is expensive
Up to a £1,000 fine, and your insurer may not pay out on a claim. It's not worth the risk.
You can test a month early
Test it up to a month minus a day before it expires and you keep the same renewal date. No time lost.
Advisories are a warning, not a bill
They passed this year. We'll tell you honestly which ones can wait and which ones can't.
Common questions
MOTs, answered properly
-
How do I check when my MOT is due?
Put your registration in the box on this page. It reads the official DVSA record and tells you the day it runs out, along with everything found at the last test. It is free and nothing is stored.
-
How often does a car need an MOT?
Every 12 months, starting three years after the car was first registered. Brand new cars do not need one for the first three years.
-
Can I drive if my MOT has run out?
No. The only exceptions are driving to a pre-booked test or to a garage for repairs. Otherwise it is a fine of up to £1,000, and your insurer may refuse a claim.
-
How much is an MOT at MCR Fast Fix?
£45 for a class 4 car or small van. The most any garage in the country is legally allowed to charge is £54.85, so treat anything higher as a question worth asking.
-
Can I get the MOT done before it runs out?
Yes, and it costs you nothing to do it. Test it up to a month minus a day before the expiry date and the new certificate still runs from the old date, so you lose no time.
-
What is the difference between a fail and an advisory?
A fail has to be put right before the car is road legal. An advisory passed this year but is on its way out. We will tell you which advisories can wait until next time and which ones should not.
-
Do I have to get repairs done where the MOT was?
Not at all, and there is no obligation here either. We are set up to do both, so most people have us fix it rather than move the car twice, but the choice is yours.
