FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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 Sevenoaks without a valid MOT certificate.

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

Why Do MOT Tests Include an Exhaust Emissions Test?

The MOT test includes an exhaust emissions test to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is operating efficiently and producing minimal air pollution. It is part of an international effort to reduce the effects of harmful carbon emissions on the planet.

If your vehicle fails the exhaust emissions test or doesn’t have enough fuel to sit this test, the tester must record an automatic MOT failure.

Do I Have to Pay For an MOT Retest?

An MOT retest is free if your car fails on one or more of the areas listed below and the repair(s) is completed within 1 working day.

● Access Panels
● Battery
● Bonnet
● Bootlid
● Brake Pedal Antislip
● Break Glass Hammer*
● Doors (including hinges, catches and pillars)
● Door Open Warning Device*
● Dropsides
● Electrical Wiring
● Emergency Exist & Signs*
● Entrance Door Remote Control*
● Entrance/Exit Steps*
● Fuel Filler Cap
● Headlamp Cleaning or Levelling Devices (that don't need a headlight aim check)
● Horn
● Lamps (excluding headlight aim)
● Loading Door
● Main Beam 'Tell-Tale'
● Mirrors
● Rear Reflectors
● Registration Plates
● Seatbelts (not anchorages)

*Class 5 Only
**Excluding Motorcycles & motorcycles with sidecar

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.

How Long Does an MOT Take?

An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.

If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.

Where Can I Find a Reliable MOT Test Centre in Sevenoaks?

To find the most reliable MOT test centre in Sevenoaks, you can filter our comparison results by reviews. This will show you the garages with the highest review score first.

All our unfiltered, verified reviews are left by previous customers of the garage, so they provide an accurate reflection of their experiences during an MOT, service or repair. That way, if a garage has a high review score from several hundred user reviews, you can be sure you will get a reliable MOT.

Once you have chosen your MOT centre, you can select a date and time to complete the booking.

Is it Possible to Get a Same Day MOT Test in Sevenoaks?

It is possible to get a same day MOT test in Sevenoaks, but only if your chosen garage has the availability to do so. It may also be easier to get a same day appointment when the MOT demand is lower.

If you do book an appointment for the same day, we recommend contacting the garage directly to ensure they have the capacity to take the booking. While garages update their availability regularly, confirming the booking with the garage will save you additional stress.

Do You Provide Reminders for Upcoming MOT Tests in Sevenoaks?

If you want to sign up for an MOT reminder service in Sevenoaks, enter your email address into the box above. We provide an MOT reminder 4 weeks, 2 weeks and then 1 week before your expiry date to ensure you book your appointment in plenty of time. We may also provide personalised offers and deals in these emails.

If you have booked an appointment through BookMyGarage.com in the past, we will automatically send you generic MOT reminders as part of our Duty of Care to all UK drivers. This is to reduce the risk of you forgetting your MOT and being caught driving without one, which is illegal.

Are Emissions Tested During the MOT in Sevenoaks, and What Are the Standards?

Yes, every modern vehicle must pass an exhaust emissions test as part of their MOT inspection in Sevenoaks. The standards your vehicle must meet to pass the test are as follows:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels must not exceed 0.2% at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 revs per minute to 3,000 revs per minute (RPM))
- Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions must not exceed 200 parts per minute (ppm) at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 RPM to 3,000 RPM)
- Lambda must remain between 0.97 and 1.03 at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 RPM to 3,000 RPM)
- CO levels must not exceed 0.3% at idle (450 RPM to 1,500 RPM)
Petrol vehicles registered before August 1975 and diesel vehicles registered before January 1980 are only subject to a visual emissions test as part of the MOT.

If your vehicle cannot sit the emissions test, or doesn’t meet the required standards, the tester will record a Major failure which must be remedied before your car is deemed roadworthy for Sevenoaks’ roads.

How Far in Advance Should I Book an MOT Test in Sevenoaks?

We recommend booking your MOT appointment in Sevenoaks at least 1-2 weeks in advance, increasing to 2-4 weeks during periods of high MOT demand such as March, September and October. This gives you the best chance of getting the slot you need and getting a stress-free MOT.

If you want to get the perfect MOT slot next year, you can book up to 12 months in advance through BookMyGarage. We will also send you booking reminder emails a couple of weeks before your appointment to ensure you don’t forget.

What Happens if I Miss My MOT Test Appointment in Sevenoaks?

If you fail to show up to an MOT test in Sevenoaks, you will need to reschedule the appointment. You may also have to book into a different garage, if the original test centre you chose doesn't have any other availability.

When you book an MOT through BookMyGarage.com, we provide a reminder email at least 2 days before the appointment to ensure you don’t miss your appointment.

However, we understand that exceptional circumstances can arise at the last minute and force a change of plans. If you suspect you now won’t be able to attend your original appointment, we recommend amending your booking through the acknowledgement email we sent you or through your account on our User Portal. You can amend a booking for free right up until the day of your MOT test.

If you are unable to make this change, we advise that you contact the garage directly to let them know you won’t be able to attend the booking and to try to get another test date arranged with them.

This will make your life as easy as possible and ensure you aren't stressed about driving a car without an MOT (as this can bring a fine of up to £1,000 and 3 points on your licence!).

Can I Drive My Car to the MOT Test Centre in Sevenoaks if My MOT Has Expired?

Yes, but only if you have pre-booked an appointment with the test centre. You must not drive your car on the roads around Sevenoaks for any other reason as it's illegal to do so.

You must also be able to prove that the test centre is expecting you for an appointment if you're stopped by the police.

What Documents Do I Need to Bring for an MOT in Sevenoaks?

Generally speaking, you do not need to take any documents with you to your MOT test. The tester will use the DVLA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

If it is your vehicle’s first MOT test, you may need to take the V5C logbook with you – but again, this information is available online so it may not be needed. You will not need to bring this on subsequent MOT tests.

If you have changed your registration since your last MOT, you may want to take documents with you that prove it is still the same car in case the test centre questions you.
