If your vehicle is three years old or more, you're required by law to have an annual safety check called the Ministry of Transport Test - the MoT Test.
The MoT ensures that your vehicle meets the minimum legal safety level.
Without a current MoT certificate, it's illegal to drive your vehicle or renew your road fund license. And now the MoT testing system has been computerised, police and mobile camera units can check remotely whether your vehicle has a current MoT or not.
Please remember, it's your responsibility to have your vehicle tested every 12 months.
During the MoT test, a government-authorised tester will check your vehicle comprehensively, including the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and underneath the vehicle. The tester records each check and if your vehicle passes the test, you'll be issued with a VT20 'pass' certificate. If it fails, you'll receive a VT30 'failure' document. You'll also be told of any 'advisory' items - those that haven't quite failed the test, but which need careful monitoring.
The MoT test covers all the following:
Once you've booked your vehicle in for its MoT, you need to take your Vehicle Registration Document - often referred to as the 'V5' document - and a means of paying the current fee.
You can book an MoT up to 28 days in advance of its due date. Most people don't realise, but the expiry date on your new MoT is 12 months from the expiry of your old one, which means you could have an MoT that lasts for 13 months. The MoT certificate is only required if you would like the new MoT to run for more than 12 months.
D G Weaver Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows D G Weaver Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
