The United Kingdom was one of the first countries to realise that vehicular safety contributed as much to road safety as driving habits. In 1960, the UK's Ministry of Transport introduced a test that measured a car's roadworthiness and safety.
The test was named after the initials of this ministry. Currently, all regulations, procedures and standards fall under the rules of the Government agency, DVSA.
Over the years, the MOT test has become mandatory for any car from when it is three years old. If you live in or around Shipley or any of the other parts of West Yorkshire, please visit us - Tyre Experts - for a professional MOT Shipley.
Only a few simple tests and checks were carried out during an MOT in 1960. Today, it comprises a list of highly technical and demanding checks.When a vehicle passes an MOT test Shipley, we will issue a customary VT20 certificate.
If minor faults are detected, we will issue a so-called advisory note, explaining which parts of your vehicle should be changed or repaired as soon as possible.
MOT failure will result in a VT30 certificate, where all the shortcomings are detailed. Our MOT Shipley experts will certainly also show you directly the reason for the test failure.Unless your previous MOT certificate is still valid, you are, unfortunately no longer allowed to drive the vehicle. You have to get all faults repaired, and a partial re-test carried out. We can certainly help you in such a case.

Before we start our tests, we will check MOT history to identify any lingering issue.
