MOT tests are a necessity for any car over three years old. The MOT test was introduced by the DVSA and ensures that every vehicle undergoes a yearly evaluation to ensure that it is performing to the correct standard and quality in compliance with specific regulations.
Car services and MOT tests are entirely different from one another. An MOT test aims to establish if the car is safe to drive on the road and is a legal requirement. A car service will examine the overall state of the vehicle and is not required by law.
Throughout your MOT test, our experienced technicians at Vasstech Durham will examine the car’s performance and undertake a number of tests and inspections inside the car, beneath the bonnet and under the car.
If your car passes the MOT and is road safe, you will be given a VT20 form, however, if your car fails the inspection, we will issue you with a VT30 form, and this will be registered by our technicians. If your car passes the MOT but has parts which may need replacing or attention before it’s next inspection, we will notify you of it upon collection.
The punishment of not holding a current MOT document will result in a fine, your road tax will be nonrenewable, and you won’t be able to drive your car in the eyes of the law.
