FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What’s Included in an MOT and Service in Nottingham?

An MOT and service combine various checks and maintenance tasks to ensure vehicle safety and performance. What is included in your service depends on whether you choose an interim, full or major service.

Below is a general outline of what you will receive during an MOT and service in Nottingham booked through BookMyGarage:

Interim Service: Oil change and fluid, brake pad, lights, tyres and exhaust checks, among others.

Full Service: Everything included in an interim service plus air filter change, suspension, brake system and drive belt checks, among others.

Major Service: Everything included in a full service with added replacements, clutch and air conditioning system checks, and fuel/pollen filter change.

MOT Test: Mandatory assessment of safety and emissions components, including body condition, lights, brakes, tyres, and emissions. Specifics vary based on vehicle age, mileage, and manufacturer recommendations.

Why is an MOT and Service Necessary?

Here are just 5 reasons why booking an MOT and service is essential:

1. Ensuring vehicle safety, performance, and compliance.
2. Regular maintenance addresses wear and tear, preventing major issues.
3. MOT tests verify roadworthiness and emissions compliance, maintaining overall safety.
4. Different service levels target specific components, optimising longevity and reliability.
5. Compliance with manufacturer recommendations and legal requirements upholds vehicle value and driver security.

Is it Cheaper to Book an MOT and Service at the Same Time?

Many garages in Nottingham offer a discount on their MOT price when you book a car service at the same time.

That means booking an MOT and service together can make it much cheaper to keep your vehicle in good condition - so long as you choose a garage that offers a great deal.

How Long Does an MOT and Service Take?

The duration of an MOT and service varies depending on which service you book, and any individual vehicle needs.

Generally, an MOT takes between 45 and 60 minutes, an interim service around 1 hour, a full service between 2-3 hours, and a major service 3-4 hours.

Your MOT and service will take longer if your vehicle needs any repairs, or the garages is quite busy and can’t begin the work right away.

If the repair is completed within 10 working days, either by the original garage or elsewhere and then you return to the original garage for a retest, you only need to pay for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the full fee.

If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.

How Long is My MOT Valid?

An MOT is valid for 12 months. This is calculated from the date of your test to the exact same date the following year.

If you book your MOT early, it becomes valid for up to 13 months (the 12 months from your expiry date this year to the following year, plus up to an additional 30 days. This depends on how early you booked your MOT).
