MOT testing for cars and light commercial vehicles

Elite has MOT testing centres at all of its locations, (except Strood) providing drivers with MOT test facilities throughout the south and south east of England

If your vehicle is 3 years or older you are required by law to have an annual safety check, commonly known an MOT. The purpose of the MOT is to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum safety level required by law.

During the MOT the tester will conduct an inspection and a comprehensive series of checks around the vehicle, including the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and under the vehicle.

If the vehicle passes all MOT checks, a VT20 MOT certificate is issued. However, if the vehicle fails its MOT checks, a VT30 document is issued. Items that aren’t quite a failure, but will require future attention are listed as ‘advisory’ items.

Did you know that you can have your test done up to 30 days before the expiry of your present MOT and still preserve the anniversary of its current date
