Find a Great MOT Garage in Leeds & Book An Appointment Online to Avoid a Fine

If your car is due an MOT in Leeds, then you must book an appointment at a local test centre before the expiry date. This will ensure that your car is safe and road legal for the year ahead.

An MOT will check whether your car meets the road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving on the roads when your MOT has expired. The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for MOT repairs 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 garage so this is a great way to save money and ensure you are booking a cheap MOT.

Driving in Leeds

The Leeds Art Gallery was recognised by the British Government as a collection of national importance, and you can enjoy some of the best British and international sculpture at the neighbouring Henry Moore Institute. The Industrial and trading heritage of the city can still be seen in the historic architecture, a good example of which is the Grade 1 listed Corn Exchange, now a boutique shopping centre. Leeds is the shopping Mecca of Yorkshire and the Humber with an assortment of indoor and outdoor shopping areas. The Victoria Quarter with its antique, iron wrought arcades is well worth a visit and so too is the evocative Kirkgate Market, Europe’s largest covered market dating back to the early 1900s.

If you’re hankering after a bit of breathing space after your long drive, Roundhay Park offers landscaped gardens and flora and fauna of all descriptions, while the serene 12th century Kirkstall Abbey is the perfect place for a picnic among the chapel ruins.

Sitting on the eastern side of the Pennines, 65% of the Leeds district is green belt and it will take you less than an hour’s drive to reach the Yorkshire Dales National Park with some of the most stunning scenery in Britain.

Leeds has been branded one of the UK’s most car dependent cities, with drivers spending an average of 80 hours stuck in congestion, statistics reveal a high number of road traffic accidents, and some urban areas exceed legal limits for traffic pollution. With these hard facts in mind, it’s worth considering that, once within the city centre everything is pretty walkable, with plenty of parking options and a pedestrianised city centre.

Motorways provide good access to the city. The M1 and M62 (leading into central Leeds on the radial M621) intersect to the south of the city and the A1(M) passes to the east. However, the one-way loop road that encircles the city can be confusing. Plan your route carefully, and if you do miss your destination, you can drive the full loop again in less than half an hour.

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?

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

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.

How Long is My 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).
