What is an MOT test?

MOT testing centres are regulated and licensed by the Department and Transport and VOSA for the purpose, and the individual testers carrying out the inspections also have to be trained and certified. The decision to pass or fail each presented vehicle comes down to the discretion of the tester following the guidelines issued by the VOSA.

The MOT test covers the following aspects:

• Lighting and signalling equipment
• Steering (including suspension)
• Brakes
• Tyres and wheels
• Seat belts
• Body, structure and general items
• Exhaust, fuel and emissions
• Driver's view of the road

MOT re-tests Wakefield Yorkshire

When a vehicle fails the MOT test it can be re-tested within the end of 10 working days to gain a pass. There may be charge payable. If the vehicle remains at the test station for repair after failure then it can have a free partial re-test within 10 working days after the original test has been carried out. If it is removed from the premises for repair and then returned before the end of 10 working days it can have a retest at half the original fee paid. If the failed vehicle is taken away but then brought back to the same test station and retested before the end of the next working day on one or more of the following items only then no fee is charged for a retest:

Bonnet, horn, sharp edges, boot lid, lamps, steering wheel, brake pedal anti-slip, loading door, tailboard, direction indicators, mirrors, tailgate, doors rear reflectors, VIN, drop sides, registration plates, windscreen and glass, fuel filler cap, seat belts, wipers and washers, hazard warning, seats, wheels and tyres.

After the 10-day period a full MOT test will have to be carried out. The full MOT test fee is charged again.

Test stations and the VOSA's (the vehicle and Operator Services Agency) website provide full and up-to-date information regarding MOT re-tests.

The fee for testing and retesting is at the discretion of the proprietor of the test facility, subject to legal maximum prices. The vehicle owner is only subject to one retest per MOT test. If the vehicle fails the MOT retest it is then subject to a full MOT test at the full MOT test fee.
