Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, helpful staff, fast turnarounds (often same-day or within a few hours), clear communication including text reminders and easy online booking, and fair prices with honest, high-quality workmanship. A small number of reviews note minor issues—chiefly an awkward drop‑off/office experience and occasional communication lapses—but these are rare compared with the consistent reports of reliable, trustworthy service.

Compare Inverness 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 Inverness. 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 Inverness without a valid MOT certificate.

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

Do I Need an MOT?

You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2020 must book an MOT in 2023.

If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT but you can choose to book one if you wish.

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.

Do I Need to Book For an MOT?

We would always recommend booking an MOT appointment in advance. This will ensure your car is tested on the day you want and doesn’t add any additional stress to your life.

While you may be able to turn up to some garages and still receive an MOT test, this depends on their availability and personal practices. The busier the garage, the more likely you have to book days or even weeks in advance.

Where Can I Find a Reliable MOT Testing Centre in Inverness?

If you want to find the most reliable MOT testing 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 Inverness 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 Schedule My MOT Appointment Online in Inverness?

Yes, you can book your MOT in Inverness 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.

Are There Any MOT Centres Open on Weekends in Inverness?

Some MOT centres in Inverness 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.

What Should I Do if My Car Fails the MOT Test in Inverness?

If your car doesn’t pass its MOT in Inverness, 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

Can I Get Both Car Servicing and MOT Testing Done at the Same Place in Inverness?

Yes, many garages in Inverness offer MOT testing and servicing together as it’s often more convenient for drivers to book the two at the same time.

If you’re looking for a joint MOT and service deal near you, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and select ‘MOT’ and the car service you want. This will show you the combined price at garages in your area, allowing you to choose the best deal and book in just a few steps.

How Quickly Can I Get a Retest if My Car Fails the MOT in Inverness?

You cannot retest a vehicle until the fault which failed the original MOT test has been fixed. In most cases, the retest can take place the same day, providing the garage has the part your car needs.

You should keep in contact with your chosen garage as they fix your car if you need it retested as soon as possible. However, retest slots do depend on the garage having the availability to carry out the repair work and re-inspect your car so the time it takes can vary depending on how busy they are.

Can I Get an MOT Reminder Service in Inverness?

If you want to sign up for an MOT reminder service in Inverness, enter 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.

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.
