Compare Bromley MOT Centres & Book an Appointment At the Best One Before Your Expiry Date to Ensure Your Vehicle is Road Legal

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment before the expiry date to continue driving on the roads around Bromley. The test checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving without a valid MOT certificate.

The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed test or to a pre-booked MOT.

Book your MOT well in advance to avoid the risk of missing your test date. You can book up to 12 months in advance through our online comparison site and save up to 70% on an MOT near you in the process by comparing deals.

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 Bromley without a valid MOT certificate.

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

How Long is 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).

Can I Drive After a Failed MOT?

You can only drive your car after a failed MOT if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

You must not drive your car after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.

Do I Have to Pay For an MOT Retest?

An MOT retest is free if your car fails on one or more of the areas listed below and the repair(s) is completed within 1 working day.

● Access Panels
● Battery
● Bonnet
● Bootlid
● Brake Pedal Antislip
● Break Glass Hammer*
● Doors (including hinges, catches and pillars)
● Door Open Warning Device*
● Dropsides
● Electrical Wiring
● Emergency Exist & Signs*
● Entrance Door Remote Control*
● Entrance/Exit Steps*
● Fuel Filler Cap
● Headlamp Cleaning or Levelling Devices (that don't need a headlight aim check)
● Horn
● Lamps (excluding headlight aim)
● Loading Door
● Main Beal 'Tell-Tale'
● Mirrors
● Rear Reflectors
● Registration Plates
● Seatbelts (not anchorages)
● Seatbelt Load Limiter
● Seatbelt Pre-Tensioner
● Seats
● Sharp Edges or Projections
● Stairs*

● Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
● Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
● Windscreen Glass

● Windscreen Washers
● Wheels and Tyres**
*Class 5 Only
**Excluding Motorcycles & motorcycles with sidecar

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.

Can You Just Turn Up For an MOT?

It is highly unlikely that you will be able to get an MOT appointment without pre-booking. Garages use a diary system to ensure they don’t overbook on any given day to ensure every driver gets their car back quickly.

There may be some rare occasions during lower MOT demand where you may be able to just turn up for an appointment, but we would always recommend booking in advance to save disappointment and to avoid unnecessary stress.

How Far Can I Drive to Get an MOT?

There is no limit on how far you can travel to get an MOT. Most drivers prefer to use a garage local to either their house or place of work to make it as easy as possible to fit an MOT into their life.

However, if you decide the best garage for you is a long way away, then you can book an appointment with them to have your MOT carried out.

How Do I Schedule an MOT?

You can either schedule an MOT by phone or through an online booking platform, such as BookMyGarage.com, and there are pros and cons to each.

If you phone the garage directly to schedule your MOT, you get peace of mind that it is sorted quickly – but you have to wait until the garage is open and it’s very difficult to compare prices to get the best deal.

If you schedule your MOT through BookMyGarage.com, you can book your appointment 24/7, 365 days a year as our comparison site is always available. Plus, you can compare all the local garages in one place to ensure you’re getting the best deal, and get peace of mind quickly as it takes just 3 steps to book through our quick and easy tool.

Where Can I Find a Trusted MOT Centre in Bromley?

If you want to find a trusted MOT 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 Bromley that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reliable/reputable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.

Are There Any MOT Centres Open on Weekends in Bromley?

Some MOT centres in Bromley may open on weekends, making it easier to book an MOT test if you have a busy schedule or work unfavourable hours.

To see which garages offer MOT testing on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the boxes on the left-hand side marked ‘Saturday MOT’ or ‘Sunday MOT’. This will filter the results to only show the garages that can complete your MOT test on one of these days.

• Enter your reg and postcode at the top of the page.
• Compare local garages to choose the best MOT deal in your area.

Follow the link above to our FREE MOT Checker and enter your registration to receive your complete MOT history instantly.

We pull information directly from the DVLA database to provide accurate results, and you can check your MOT history as many times and for as many different vehicles as you like.

Is it Possible to Get a Last-Minute MOT Appointment in Bromley?

You may be able to book a last-minute MOT in Bromley, but this always depends on the test centre’s availability. It may be easier to book a last-minute appointment at different times of the year, depending on demand.

While garages on our comparison site set their availability themselves, and are encouraged to update it regularly, we recommend contacting the garage directly if you have booked a last-minute MOT in Bromley to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.

How Frequently Should I Get My Vehicle MOT Tested in Bromley?

You should get your vehicle MOT tested once a year. This is required by law for all vehicles aged 3+-years-old in the UK. If you are caught driving without a valid MOT on public roads, you can face a fine up to £1,000 and additional penalties for invalidating your car insurance, or driving a dangerous vehicle if it is in unroadworthy condition.

If you’re worried about when your MOT is due, follow the link above to our FREE MOT check and enter your reg to instantly view the MOT expiry date for your vehicle. If it is overdue or fast approaching, you can then book a test in Bromley in 3 simple steps.

Is it Legal to Drive My Car After a Failed MOT in Bromley?

It is only legal to drive your car after a failed MOT if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

You must not drive your car in Bromley after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.

How Do I Choose a Reliable MOT Testing Centre in Bromley?

To choose the most reliable MOT centre in Bromley, you can filter our comparison results by reviews. This will show you the garages with the highest review score first.

All our unfiltered, verified reviews are left by previous customers of the garage, so they provide an accurate reflection of their experiences during an MOT, service or repair. That way, if a garage has a high review score from several hundred user reviews, you can be sure you will get a reliable MOT.

Once you have chosen your MOT centre, you can select a date and time to complete the booking.
