Compare MOT Centres in Northampton and Book an Appointment Before Your Expiry Date to Avoid a Fine

If your car's MOT is due, you must book an appointment at a Northampton test centre before the expiry date. The test is a yearly legal requirement for all 3+-year-old vehicles because it checks that your car meets the road safety and environmental standards. Without it, you are not road legal and you will be prosecuted if caught driving on the roads with an expired MOT. 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.

Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT today using our comparison tool. What's more, the price varies by test centre so comparing instant prices is the only way to guarantee that you are booking a cheap MOT in Northampton.

FAQs

Should I Book an MOT and Service in Northampton at the Same Time?

You can see several benefits when you book your MOT and service at the same time. These include:

• Convenience. Booking an MOT and service at the same time means your car gets the right maintenance without you finding time for separate appointments. This keeps your car on the road for longer and ensures your life stays on track. 
• Lower Cost. When you book an MOT and service at the same time, you may be able to secure an even lower price. Many garages offer an MOT discount when you combine it with a car service. Plus, the more thorough the service, the bigger the discount can be. Compare garages in Northampton to see how much you can save on your car maintenance.
• Reduced Chance of Breaking Down. An MOT pass certificate ensures that your car is legal for the year to come, but booking a car service at the same time offers even greater peace of mind. It is far more detailed than the MOT test, so you get a better picture of your vehicle’s condition if you book them both at the same time.

If you’re looking for the above benefits from your car maintenance, then you should book an MOT and service in Northampton at the same time. Enter your reg and postcode to compare garages near you and book the best deal.

Is it Cheaper to Book an MOT and Service Together?

Many garages in Northampton 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 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 the UK 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 2019 must book an MOT in 2022.

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.
