Book Up To a Month Early Without Losing Any Cover
You can have your MOT done up to one calendar month (minus a day) before your current certificate expires, and your new certificate will still run a full year from the original expiry date - not from the day you're tested.
Test any earlier than that and the new certificate runs from the test date instead, so you lose whatever time was left on the old one. Leave it too late, and you risk driving without a valid MOT altogether, which can mean a fine of up to £1,000 and may invalidate your insurance.

Warranty
All parts and labour we fit are covered by a manufacturer's warranty against defects. Cover length and terms vary depending on the part and how the vehicle's used - for example, some components carry different terms for towing or commercial use - so we'll always confirm exactly what applies to your job. Warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or routine service items.
