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

Is your car due an MOT test? If so, you must book an appointment at a test centre in Rugby before the expiry date to avoid a potential fine and penalty points on your licence.

This yearly test is a legal requirement for every vehicle aged 3 or older and it checks whether your car is road legal for the year ahead. This is why you will be prosecuted if caught driving on the roads around Rugby when your MOT has expired. The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed MOT or to a pre-booked test.

Make sure you avoid the risk of missing your test date by booking your MOT well in advance using our comparison tool. This is also the best way to ensure you book the best deal on your MOT in Rugby as each test centre will charge a different price.

FAQs

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 Rugby without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.

Can I Drive After a Failed MOT?

You can only drive your car after a failed MOT if:

• The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
• No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

You must not drive your car after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.

How Early Can You Do an MOT?

You can book your MOT as early as you want, but most people choose to book it up to a month, minus a day, before the expiry date. This allows you to complete the same expiry date for the following year. For example, if your car was registered on the 1st of September, you could book your MOT between 2nd August and 1st September to keep the same expiry date. 

If you book your MOT early, you get more time to fix any faults and ensure your car is still legal to drive on UK roads. However, if you book your MOT earlier than a month in advance, the expiry date will become the date of your most recent test.
