An MOT checks that your vehicle meets the required road safety and environmental standards. It is a legal requirement for most vehicles once they are over 3 years old, and then every year after that.

At Northridge Cars, we make the process simple:
Book your MOT
Bring the vehicle in.
Receive clear feedback
And, if needed, we can advise on any repairs.

MOT vs Service – What’s the Difference?

This is one of the most common questions we get.
An MOT is a legal roadworthiness and emissions test.
A service is routine maintenance to help keep your vehicle in good condition.
They are not the same thing, which is why many customers book both together.

What Does an MOT Test Check?

An MOT covers key safety and environmental items, including checks such as:
lights and indicators
brakes
tyres and wheels
steering and suspension
seatbelts
wipers and washers
mirrors
exhaust and emissions
body and structure (where relevant to safety)
It does not replace regular servicing, and it does not check the full mechanical condition of items such as the engine, clutch, or gearbox.
