Book Into An MOT Garage in Coventry to Avoid Problems With an Expired MOT

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment at a Coventry MOT centre before the expiry date to avoid a fine for driving on the roads without an MOT. As MOT testing checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, it is vital to book one every year after your vehicle turns 3 years old. This helps to keep the UK's roads safe for everyone.

You can only drive without an MOT if you are heading to a garage for a pre-booked MOT test or repairs after a failed test. Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT well in advance using our comparison tool.

What's more, the MOT cost will vary for each garage so comparing instant prices is a great way to save money and ensure you are booking a cheap MOT in Coventry.

FAQs

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 Coventry without a valid MOT certificate.

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

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 £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 per fault. 

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.

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.
