What happens if I don’t have an MOT certificate?

The penalties for not having an MOT certificate can be quite severe. You could get a £1000 fine and you won’t be able to pay your road tax. It will probably also mean your car insurance is invalid which could mean penalty points and an inability to claim.

Do I still need a service?

Yes. MOTs are visual inspections only so you still need a more in-depth check that your car is performing as it should. We provide cost-effective options for servicing your car, see for yourself here.
