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.
You may wish to provide a locking wheel nut in case any repairs are needed to the wheels or tyres.
While garages on our comparison site set their availability themselves, and are encouraged to update it regularly, we recommend contacting the garage directly if you have booked a last-minute MOT in Wakefield to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.
We pull information directly from the DVLA database to provide accurate results, and you can check your MOT history as many times and for as many different vehicles as you like.
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.
Some MOT centres in Wakefield may also send out their own MOT reminders, but you will have to ask your chosen centre directly if this is a service they offer.
You only need to book an MOT every 12 months by law, so you don’t need to book it any earlier unless you want to change the MOT expiry date for future years to a different time of year.
If you are planning on selling your vehicle and want to advertise it with an MOT certificate that’s valid for 12 months, you can book a test at any time to ensure this.
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 Wakefield garage that offers MOTs and repairs to make your life as easy as possible.
If you wish to wait at your chosen Wakefield test centre during your MOT, you can do so without selecting any additional services during the booking process.
If you booked your MOT in Wakefield through BookMyGarage.com, you won't be charged as we don't collect any payment information during the booking process. You always pay the garage directly after the work has been completed.
We also send you a reminder email at least 2 days before the appointment to ensure you don’t miss your MOT in Wakefield, and you can amend or cancel your booking for free right up until the day of your test through our User Portal or the acknowledgement email we sent you.
