Compare Oldham 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 Oldham. 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 find the best value for you on an MOT near you in the process by comparing deals.

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.
