MOT Testing

MOT testing is a legal requirement, but also gives you peace of mind that you are driving a vehicle that has been safety checked for you by our friendly and reliable team. Many aspects of your vehicle will be checked, including steering, brakes and tyres, so that you can go away feeling confident that your vehicle is in the best, most dependable condition for you and your family.

JS Motor Services MOT Garage is situated in Witney where we are able to offer MOT tests to customers in the Burford & Carterton area.

At our Witney MOT Garage we can carry out.

  • MOTs for cars - Class 4

FAQS

Click the questions below to reveal the answers.

The Ministry of Transport test (MOT) is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in Great Britain for most vehicles over three years old.

Driving without a valid MOT certificate carries a maximum penalty of £1000 and some insurers will invalidate your insurance if you drive without a valid MOT certificate.

You must get an MOT test for your car by either:

  • the third anniversary of its registration
  • the anniversary of its last MOT, if it's over 3 years old

In some cases, you'll need to get a test when it's one year old

You'll then need to renew your MOT before it expires. The earliest date you can renew is one month before it expires - this date is printed on the pass certificate.

In this instance, you will be issued with a VT3O Certificate outlining the items causing the failure of the MOT test. We will then advise you about the repairs required to help it pass an MOT retest.

If its existing MOT certificate is still valid (i.e. you got it tested before the expiry date) you can still drive it. However, you might be stopped by police and prosecuted if your vehicle is unroadworthy.

If the vehicle fails the test and the certificate has expired, you can only drive it to:

  • have the failed defects repaired
  • a pre-arranged MOT test appointment

If your vehicle fails it's MOT test and is left at the branch it was originally tested in to be repaired, then no additional fee is charged for a retest. This is known as a Partial Re-Examination or Partial Retest.

If the failed vehicle is taken away but then brought back to the same branch and retested before the end of the next working day then no fee is charged for a retest.

If the vehicle is removed from the testing station for repair and returned for retest within 10 working days following the day of failure, then the full MOT test fee will be charged.

You'll get an MOT certificate and your test record will be entered onto the secure central MOT database if your vehicle passes the test.

Test certificates show the mileage recorded at the current and previous 3 test passes to help reduce vehicle crime.
