MOT - £46

An MOT is an essential part of car ownership. At Border City Autos, our experienced team can carry out a thorough MOT Carlisle residents can trust and give you all the guidance you need.

What is an MOT test?

A Ministry of Transport (MOT) test is a yearly assessment and inspection of your vehicle which must be carried out by an industry professional. They will assess whether or not your car or van meets the standard requirements of road safety and environmental expectations that are laid out legally.

Why is an MOT important?

An MOT is a vital inspection to ensure that you are driving a vehicle that is safe to be on the road. If you do not undergo regular servicing, and even if you do, you may not always be driving a vehicle that measures up to expected standards. This could be dangerous to you or to other road users.

How often do you need an MOT?

An MOT is required once a year if your vehicle is three years old or more. A brand-new car does not need an MOT until this point.

How long is an MOT certificate valid for?

An MOT certificate is valid for a year, at which point you will need to book a new MOT. Driving without a valid MOT can incur a fine of around £1000, so it is in your best financial and safety interests to keep up with your MOT!
