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 Tipton without a valid MOT certificate.

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

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.

Do I Need an MOT?

You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2020 must book an MOT in 2023.

If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT, but you can choose to book one if you wish.

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

If you want to find the most reliable MOT centre in your area, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. We show you all your options in one place, along with verified, unfiltered reviews to help you make the most informed decision. That way, you get the peace of mind you deserve and can find the best deal at the same time.

While you can book an MOT at any registered test centre in Tipton that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reliable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.

Are MOT Test Centres in Tipton Open on Weekends?

Some MOT centres in Tipton may open on weekends, making it easier to book an MOT test if you have a busy schedule or work unfavourable hours.

To see which garages offer MOT testing on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the boxes on the left-hand side marked ‘Saturday MOT’ or ‘Sunday MOT’. This will filter the results to only show the garages that can complete your MOT test on one of these days.

Do You Provide Reminders for Upcoming MOT Tests in Tipton?

Yes, we offer an MOT reminder service for all drivers in Tipton. To sign up for this service, 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.

What Are the Penalties for Driving Without a Valid MOT in Tipton?

The penalties for driving in Tipton without having a valid MOT are as follows:
• Up to a £1,000 fine for driving without an MOT.
• 6-8 points on your driver’s licence and an unlimited fine for driving without car insurance (as your insurance is invalid without an MOT certificate). You may also face a disqualification from driving.
• An additional £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy.
• 3 points on your driver’s licence if your vehicle is deemed to be dangerous.

While the police may only issue you with a £100 on the spot fine instead of any of these more serious penalties, it’s not worth taking the risk. You must have a valid MOT at all times so, if you’re worried your vehicle no longer has one, enter your reg into our FREE MOT checker by following the link above.

Once you know when your MOT is due, you can book an appointment in 3 steps if it is approaching.

If My Car Fails the MOT, Can You Perform the Necessary Repairs in Tipton?

Most MOT centres in Tipton are also qualified to carry out repairs and conduct the retest inspection for your vehicle. If your car fails the MOT test, you shouldn’t have to move it to another location in most cases.

Your chosen garage will then work quickly to complete the repairs, retest your vehicle and provide a valid MOT certificate. This is usually the same day, but it does depend on how busy they are and whether they have the necessary parts in stock.

The only exceptions to this are if you choose a specialist MOT centre, such as a council testing station. These don’t offer repairs, so you will have to arrange for your vehicle to be transported to a local garage.

If you’re worried about your vehicle failing the MOT, we would recommend choosing a local Tipton garage that offers MOTs and repairs to make your life as easy as possible.

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

Yes, every modern vehicle must pass an exhaust emissions test as part of their MOT inspection in Tipton. 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 Tipton’s roads.

How Will I Be Notified About My MOT Results in Tipton?

Your chosen Tipton MOT centre will inform you of the results of your MOT test once the tester has completed the inspection and logged the result online. If your vehicle has failed and requires repairs, they will then talk you through what your next steps are.

You can also view your vehicle’s MOT results by entering your reg into our free MOT checker above, even if you’re not sure whether the test has been completed. We access the DVLA database and provide instant results that show your current MOT status, MOT history and any advisories from previous tests.

Please note that this service can take a few hours to update after a completed MOT test, so it is always worth waiting for the garage to contact you about the results of your MOT in Tipton first.
