Your MOT test
The cost of your MOT test is included in your Scheme lease. It’s a check to make sure each vehicle meets the current road safety and environmental standards.
When is your MOT test due?
In most of the UK, vehicles over three years old need to be tested each year.
Your dealer or supplier should contact you to book your MOT test towards the end of your lease. If this has not happened, please contact them as soon as possible. You can also see your MOT date in your online account. Then you can call your dealer to book an appointment that suits you
If your MOT expires, you can only legally drive your car or WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle to a pre-booked MOT appointment
If your dealer or supplier cannot complete your MOT, you can contact Kwik Fit and make an appointment at one of their centres
If you have a WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle with a lease that’s longer than three years, you’ll need an MOT test when it’s three years old
If you live in Northern Ireland, you do not need an MOT test until your car or WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle is four years old
If you live in the Isle of Man, you do not need to get an MOT test at all
If your car or WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle is on a three-year lease, it will need an MOT test certificate roughly two months before the end of your lease
If you’re interested in extending your lease, you’ll still need an MOT done within the last three months of your original end date and before you hand your vehicle back or extend your lease.
We recommend you book your MOT in for at least one month before it’s due. This will allow time for anything to be fixed before your MOT expires.
You’ll also need to book another MOT test every 12 months.
Please let your dealer or supplier know if you’re concerned about anything to do with your vehicle. They’ll keep your MOT test certificates.
