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 Wakefield without a valid MOT certificate.

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

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.

What is the Retest Policy if My Car Fails the MOT in Wakefield?

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*

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.

What Do I Need to Take to An MOT Test?

You do not need to take anything except your car to an MOT test. The tester will use the DVSA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

You may wish to provide a locking wheel nut in case any repairs are needed to the wheels or tyres.

Can I Drive My Car Without MOT if it is Booked In?

You can only drive your car without an MOT if you are on your way to a pre-booked MOT test. If you are driving for any other purpose, even if your car is booked in for a test, you can be prosecuted if caught by the police.

Is it Possible to Get a Last-Minute MOT Appointment in Wakefield?

You may be able to book a last-minute MOT in Wakefield on short notice, but this always depends on the test centre’s availability. It may be easier to book a last-minute MOT at different times of the year, depending on demand.

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.

How Can I Check My Vehicle’s MOT History in Wakefield?

Follow the link above to our FREE MOT Checker and enter your registration to receive your complete MOT history instantly.

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.

Do MOT Centres in Wakefield Send Out Reminder for Upcoming Tests?

Yes, we provide an MOT reminder service for all drivers in Wakefield. 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.

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.

Can I Renew My MOT Earlier Than Its Expiry Date in Wakefield?

Yes, you can renew your MOT at any time. However, as it is valid for 12 months, most drivers do it less than a month, minus a day, before the expiry date.

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.

If My Vehicle Fails the MOT, Can You Carry Out the Repairs in Wakefield?

Yes, most MOT centres in Wakefield 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 Wakefield garage that offers MOTs and repairs to make your life as easy as possible.

Can I Stay at the Test Centre While My MOT is Being Conducted in Wakefield?

Yes, most garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service. This involves providing a waiting area, usually with WIFI and refreshments, where customers can sit and work or relax during the MOT test. Many also allow you to see the technicians at work, so you get peace of mind about the work they are doing on your vehicle.

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.

What Happens If I Miss My Scheduled MOT Test in Wakefield?

If you miss your MOT appointment in Wakefield, you will have to rebook your test for another day and potentially choose another garage (depending on availability). If you have booked directly with a local test centre, you may still be charged.

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.
