What can we help you with?

The Ministry of Transport in the UK is referred to as MOT. All vehicles over three years old in the UK are required by law to have a current MOT certificate.

Unless you're travelling to a nearby test centre to renew your certificate, it's against the law to drive without a current MOT certificate.

Use our online MOT checker tool to determine the expiration date of your MOT if you are unsure. Then, you must schedule your vehicle's MOT before this time.

After three years, the majority of vehicles require a MOT and a fresh certificate every 12 months. You may check it online if you've lost track of when yours is due.

An MOT examination typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. You can leave your car with us, and when it's ready, we'll phone you. The time it takes to finish any additional work if your car needs repairs will depend on what is being done. To schedule your car's MOT today, visit our website.

Urban Autohaus makes it simple to schedule a MOT online. You can discover the available slots by entering your registration number into our MOT online tool. The car MOT slot is yours to choose. You have access to hundreds of MOT online appointments and may also schedule a servicing appointment for your vehicle.

We can test cars (class 4 vehicles) as well as motors weighing 3.0 to 3.5 tonnes, like pickups, vans, and transits, at Urban Autohaus. We are unable to test bikes or three-wheeled vehicles, which is a shame.

You can save time and money, by scheduling a MOT and service at the same time. Also, it will provide you entire assurance that your automobile will be prepared and safe to drive when you need it. This makes a simpler and easier to remember the 1 date.

A V5C vehicle registration certificate (log book) is necessary if your car is getting its first MOT. This certificate is also necessary if your car's licence plate has changed since it last got a MOT. There is no need for documentation in all other situations.

You will need to make plans for your car to be fixed and retested if it fails. You might not be able to lawfully operate your vehicle on the road without a valid MOT certificate up until these repairs have been done and a valid MOT certificate has been given. Most repairs can usally be completed by us on the same day at the test centre, but we will always notify you and get your permission before beginning any work.

No, all MOT re-tests are free up to 10 working days from the failure date. If you bring your car back after 10 working days, you will be charged for a full MOT.
