Having your car serviced and an MOT test done are both important for maintaining a safe and roadworthy vehicle, but they are distinct services with different purposes. An MOT is a legal requirement, while a service is recommended for optimal vehicle performance and longevity.
MOT (Ministry of Transport Test):
Purpose: A legally required annual safety inspection for vehicles over three years old to ensure they meet road safety standards.
Focus: Checks for basic safety issues like brakes ,lights, steering, tyres, and bodywork.
Mandatory: You cannot legally drive a vehicle that fails its MOT test until the necessary repairs are made and a retest is passed.
Purpose: Routine maintenance to keep your car in good condition, optimize performance, and prevent breakdowns.
Focus: Includes tasks like oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and general inspections of various systems.
Recommended: While not legally mandatory, regular servicing is crucial for maintaining your car's longevity and safety.
Convenience: You can get both done at the same time and place, saving you time and effort.
Cost-effective: we will offer discount when you book an MOT and service together.
Peace of Mind: Regular servicing can help ensure your car passes its MOT test, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
