No. We allow you to book your MOT with a garage near you, at a time that suits you. The garage will charge you for your MOT when it is completed.

If your car fails (Over 36% of all Class 4 vehicles tested between 2015 - 2016 did), you will first be issued a "Refusal of an MOT test Certificate (VT30)". Depending on the severity of the failure, you can opt to leave the car with the testing station for repair - if it's retested within 10 working days, it will only require a partial retest and there is no fee payable for this.

You can take your car away for repairs, as long as you MOT certificate is still valid (Has not Lapsed). If it has lapsed, you are still allowed to take your vehicle to either have the failed defects fixed or a pre-arranged MOT test appointment.

If you take your vehicle back for a retest to the same test center before the end of the next working day for a partial retest, you will not be required to pay again - This only applies to a certain list of defects - Check here for more information
