MOT’s – NMD Automotive, whitstable

New vehicles are due them after three years then annually after that, you can check here on the gov website for an accurate date.

You can have an MOT up to one month (minus a day) before the expiry date to keep the same renewal however often people chose to have an mot done prior to selling a vehicle to show the protentional new owners the vehicles condition is safe and road worthy. 

Check the past results of a vehicle MOT tests by following this link, here you can see the mileage from when it was tested and any previous fails or advisories. This can be a useful tool when looking to purchase a new vehicle also. 

You cannot drive your vehicle if the tester deemed it to be dangerous faults however if only major faults are found you can drive the vehicle to either a pre booked test or a repair centre, at NMD Automotive we are happy to help on almost all MOT failures, our staff will walk you through the issues and can advise on costs whilst your vehicle is with us. 

A few steps we would recommend taking before bringing your vehicle to us would be

• Ensure windscreen wipers work and washer fluid is topped up
• Remove any clutter that blocks access to testable areas, this could be something as simple as removing a box on a seat as our testers need to test your seatbelts.
• Check all lights and indicator bulbs are working correctly
• Check Tyre tread depths and pressures

Surprisingly for most vehicle owners, the most common failure points occur in the vehicle’s lamps and electrical equipment (27% of all defects), suspension (accounts for nearly 19% of all MOT failures) and brakes that makeup 17% of MOT detected defects.
