Toyota MOT
It is a legal requirement within the UK that a MOT test is carried out annually on all vehicles over three years old. The MOT will test your vehicle's roadworthiness, ensuring your vehicle is compliant with key safety and environmental requirements.
When to book my car for an MOT?
An annual MOT check is a mandatory test for all cars over 3 years old. Once your car reaches 3 years old it will require its first test. After that, an MOT will be required every 12 months.
