FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is an MOT Test?

An MOT test, or Ministry of Transport Test, is an essential annual vehicle check to assess roadworthiness and safety standards. It ensures all vehicles on UK roads are maintained to a certain standard, improving road safety standards in the process.

What Do I Do if My MOT is Overdue?

If your MOT is overdue you must book a test immediately. It is illegal to drive on public roads in and around Andover without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.

How Early Can You Do an MOT?

You can book your MOT as early as you want, but most people choose to book it up to a month, minus a day, before the expiry date. This allows you to complete the same expiry date for the following year. For example, if your car was registered on the 1st of September, you could book your MOT between 2nd August and 1st September to keep the same expiry date.

If you book your MOT early, you get more time to fix any faults and ensure your car is still legal to drive on UK roads. However, if you book your MOT earlier than a month in advance, the expiry date will become the date of your most recent test.

When is it Legal to Drive Without an MOT Certificate?

It is only legal to drive without a valid MOT certificate if you are on your way to a pre-booked MOT test or to have the failed defects fixed. If you are stopped by the police, you must be able to prove that you have a booked appointment and confirm it with the test centre or garage.

If you are caught on a public road without a valid MOT certificate, and you can’t meet the above criteria, you can be fined up to £1,000. There is a further £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy. You will also receive 3 points on your driving licence if it is deemed to be dangerous.

Driving without an MOT certificate also invalidates your car insurance. This brings an unlimited fine, potential disqualification from driving and 6-8 points on your licence.

What Do I Need to Take To An MOT Test?

You do not need to take anything except your car to an MOT test. The tester will use the DVSA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

You may wish to provide a locking wheel nut in case any repairs are needed to the wheels or tyres.

How Do I Find a Reliable MOT Test Centre in Andover?

To find the most reliable MOT test centre in your area, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. We show you all your options in one place, along with verified, unfiltered reviews to help you make the most informed decision. That way, you get the peace of mind you deserve and can find the best deal at the same time.

While you can book an MOT at any registered test centre in Andover that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reliable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.

Can I Book An MOT Online in Andover?

Yes, you can book your MOT in Andover online through our quick and easy comparison site.
• Enter your reg and postcode at the top of the page.
• Compare local garages to choose the best MOT deal in your area.
• Select a suitable garage, date and time and confirm your booking.

With BookMyGarage, you can book your MOT online in just a few clicks. There’s no need to wait for local garages to open to phone them up and compare deals manually – you can do it all in one place, 24/7, 365 days a year.

What Happens if My Vehicle Fails its MOT in Andover?

If your vehicle fails its MOT in Andover, the test centre will provide a detailed breakdown of what faults were found and what you need to do to fix them. In most cases, the garage will be able to carry out these repairs themselves and complete an MOT retest to ensure you have a valid MOT certificate. This is usually done within 1 day, and the retest is free for most common faults.

You will have to pay an additional fee for the repairs, which the garage will quote you for before beginning the process.

If you wish to complete the repairs yourself or take your vehicle to a different garage for the repairs, you must return to the original garage within 1 day for a free retest or 10 days for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the initial MOT price.

If you take your vehicle to a different test centre after completing the repairs, or return more than 10 days after the initial test, you will need to pay the full MOT fee again.

You may only take your vehicle away from the original MOT centre if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

Is There a Waiting Area at the MOT Centre in Andover?

Yes, most garages operate an ‘MOT while you wait’ service, often providing a waiting room and refreshments for you during the test, so you can choose to wait at the garage.

However, you don’t need to hang around during the MOT. If you have other things to do, you can drop your car off and return later in the day to pick it up when it’s convenient for you.

Is There a Grace Period if My MOT Expires in Andover?

There is no MOT grace period, so you cannot drive your car legally after its certificate expires. You must book an appointment up to a month – minus a day – before the expiry date to ensure your vehicle always has a valid MOT certificate.

If your MOT has expired, you can only drive it to a pre-booked MOT test.

Will I Get a Reminder When My MOT is Due in Andover?

If you have booked an appointment through BookMyGarage.com in the past, we will automatically send you generic MOT reminders as part of our Duty of Care to all UK drivers. This is to reduce the risk of you forgetting your MOT and being caught driving without one, which is illegal.

You can choose to sign up for our dedicated MOT reminder service in Andover by entering your email address into the box above. We provide an MOT reminder 4 weeks, 2 weeks and then 1 week before your expiry date to ensure you book your appointment in plenty of time. We may also provide personalised offers and deals in these emails.

Can I Get A Same Day MOT Booking in Andover?

You may be able to get an MOT on the same day if your chosen Andover garage has the availability to do so. It may also be easier to get your MOT done on the same day when the demand is lower.

If you do book an appointment for the same day, we recommend contacting the garage directly to ensure they have the capacity to take the booking. While garages update their availability regularly, confirming the booking with the garage will save you additional stress.

Can I Cancel or Reschedule My MOT Appointment in Andover?

Yes, BookMyGarage allows you to amend or cancel your booking up until the day of your appointment FREE of charge.

You can manage your booking either from the appointment acknowledgement email we sent to you or by creating a User Account. This allows you to store your vehicle's history and manage all your bookings in one place, as well as providing a wealth of information about your car.
