Book Your Car into an MOT Garage in Reading Before the Expiry Date to Avoid a Fine

Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT well in advance using our comparison tool; the cost will vary for each local test centre so this is a great way to save money and ensure you are booking a cheap MOT.
