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 Market Harborough without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration 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 up to £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 if it is deemed to be dangerous.

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.

Do I Have to Pay For an MOT Retest?

An MOT retest is free if your car fails on one or more of the areas listed below and the repair(s) is completed within 1 working day.

● Access Panels
● Battery
● Bonnet
● Bootlid
● Brake Pedal Antislip
● Break Glass Hammer*
● Doors (including hinges, catches and pillars)
● Door Open Warning Device*
● Dropsides
● Electrical Wiring
● Emergency Exist & Signs*
● Entrance Door Remote Control*
● Entrance/Exit Steps*
● Fuel Filler Cap
● Headlamp Cleaning or Levelling Devices (that don't need a headlight aim check)
● Horn
● Lamps (excluding headlight aim)
● Loading Door
● Main Beam 'Tell-Tale'
● Mirrors
● Rear Reflectors
● Registration Plates
● Seatbelts (not anchorages)
● Seatbelt Load Limiter
● Seatbelt Pre-Tensioner
● Seats

● Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
● Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
● Windscreen Glass

● Wheels and Tyres**
*Class 5 Only
**Excluding Motorcycles & motorcycles with sidecar

If the repair is completed within 10 working days, either by the original garage or elsewhere and then you return to the original garage for a retest, you only need to pay for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the full fee.

If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.

What Do I Need to Take to An MOT Test?

You do not need to take anything except your car to an MOT test. The tester will use the DVSA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

You may wish to provide a locking wheel nut in case any repairs are needed to the wheels or tyres.

Where Can I Find a Reliable MOT Test Centre in Market Harborough?

If you want to find the most reliable MOT 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 Market Harborough 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.

Are MOT Test Centres in Market Harborough Open on Weekends?

Some MOT test centres in Market Harborough 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.

How Can I Check My Vehicle’s MOT History in Market Harborough?

Follow the link above to our FREE MOT Checker and enter your registration to receive your complete MOT history instantly.

We pull information directly from the DVLA database to provide accurate results, and you can check your MOT history as many times and for as many different vehicles as you like.

Is There a Grace Period After Failing an MOT in Market Harborough?

There is no MOT grace period, so you cannot drive your car legally after a failure UNLESS last year's certificate is still valid, and the test centre didn't record a Major or Dangerous fault during the inspection.

There is no MOT grace period if it expires, so you must book an appointment in advance to ensure your vehicle is always legal to drive in and around Market Harborough.

Do You Provide Reminders for Upcoming MOT Tests in Market Harborough?

If you want to sign up for an MOT reminder service in Market Harborough, 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.

What Are the Penalties for Driving Without a Valid MOT in Market Harborough?

The penalties for driving in Market Harborough without having a valid MOT are as follows:
• Up to a £1,000 fine for driving without an MOT.
• 6-8 points on your driver’s licence and an unlimited fine for driving without car insurance (as your insurance is invalid without an MOT certificate). You may also face a disqualification from driving.
• An additional £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy.
• 3 points on your driver’s licence if your vehicle is deemed to be dangerous.

While the police may only issue you with a £100 on the spot fine instead of any of these more serious penalties, it’s not worth taking the risk. You must have a valid MOT at all times so, if you’re worried your vehicle no longer has one, enter your reg into our FREE MOT checker by following the link above.

Once you know when your MOT is due, you can book an appointment in 3 steps if it is approaching.

What if I Miss My MOT Appointment in Market Harborough?

When you book your MOT through BookMyGarage.com, we provide a reminder email at least 2 days before the appointment to ensure you don’t miss your MOT in Market Harborough.

However, we understand that exceptional circumstances can arise at the last minute and force a change of plans. If you suspect you now won’t be able to attend your original appointment, we recommend amending your booking through the acknowledgement email we sent you or through your account on our User Portal. You can amend a booking for free right up until the day of your MOT test.

If you are unable to make this change, we advise that you contact the garage directly to let them know you won’t be able to attend the booking and to try to get another test date arranged with them.
