Compare MOT Garages in Manchester to Book the Best Deal Before Your MOT Expires

Is your car due an MOT in Manchester? If so, you must book an appointment at an official test centre before the expiry date to avoid the risk of a potential fine. As the test checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, it is vital that you book one every year after your vehicle turns three years old. Else, you won't be road legal.

Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT well in advance using our comparison tool. As the MOT cost also varies for each test centre you can also save money and ensure you are booking a cheap MOT in Manchester if you compare prices through BookMyGarage.

Driving in Manchester

The upside for visitors is that Manchester is a fast-paced, exciting, thriving city that never sleeps. The downside for drivers is that it is the 12th most congested city in Europe. Mancunians work hard and play hard. The old Industrial Revolution symbol of the worker bee, which still adorns the mosaic floors of the Town Hall, seems as appropriate now as it was during Manchester’s industrial heyday.

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 Manchester without a valid MOT certificate.

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

Is it Cheaper to Book an MOT and Service Together?

Many garages in Manchester offer a discount on their MOT price when you book a car service at the same time. That means booking an MOT and service together can make it much cheaper to keep your vehicle in good condition - so long as you choose a garage that offers a great deal.

What Documents Do I Need to Take to An MOT and Service in Manchester?

You don’t need to bring any documents to your MOT and service appointment. However, there are a few things you may wish to have handy to make your booking as smooth as possible. 

Previously, you needed to bring the previous year’s MOT certificate, your car’s logbook (V5C) and other letters and documents. All this information is now online and available to all licenced UK MOT testers. This means that you don’t need to show any documents on the day of your appointment.

You may wish to bring or do the following things on the day of your appointment:

• Make sure your locking wheel nut key is accessible. This will help the technician remove your car’s wheels if necessary.
• Remove any clutter from your boot and the back seats. This will allow access to the spare wheel and make it easier to test the rear seatbelts and seats.
• Bring your car’s service book and/or logbook (V5C). The technician may record details of your service in your service book as well as on other paperwork.
