MOT certificate

A common misconception is that once you achieve a MOT certificate, it automatically means that your car is fool proof for 365 days. This is a very wrong direction because when the test is performed, the experts monitor the current state of affairs with your car. What you do with your vehicle for the rest of the year, is another story. If you ignore regular maintenance, your car will still not be safe to drive.

In all honesty, MOT doesn’t have to be a painful or anxiety filled experience. If you have done your research and chosen the right type of garage to do the job – it can be seamless.
