Find an MOT Garage in Portsmouth & Book an Appointment Before Your Expiry Date to Avoid a Hefty Fine

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment at a Portsmouth test centre before it expires. The test will check whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving on the roads around Portsmouth when your MOT has expired.

The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage to be repaired 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 in Portsmouth.

Use the MOT comparison tool to get instant prices in your local area. It’s the simplest way to learn more about local test centres and book your appointment.
