Book Your Car Into an MOT Garage in Edinburgh Before the Expiry Date to Avoid a Fine

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment at an Edinburgh MOT centre before the expiry date to avoid any problems. The test will check whether your car meets the road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if driving on the roads around Edinburgh when your MOT has expired.

The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage to be repaired or to a pre-booked MOT test. Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT well in advance using our comparison tool; the MOT cost will vary for each MOT centre in Edinburgh so this is a great way to save money and ensure you are booking a cheap MOT.
