Book an MOT test in Billericay

You can check your vehicle's MOT expiry date online using the GOV.UK MOT status checker. Simply enter your vehicle registration number to see when the current MOT expires and whether the vehicle has a valid certificate.

We offer MOT availability 48 hours from time of booking, depending on local availability. It's best to book as early as possible to secure a convenient time.

In most cases, no. It is illegal to drive a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate if one is required. The main exception is driving directly to a pre-booked MOT test appointment. The vehicle must still be roadworthy and insured.

You can view a vehicle's MOT history online through the GOV.UK MOT history service. Enter the registration number to see previous test dates, pass and fail results, mileage records, and any advisories or defects recorded during past tests.

You can have your vehicle tested up to one month (minus one day) before its current MOT expires and keep the same renewal date. You can also book further in advance if your chosen test centre allows it.

Usually, no documents are required if the vehicle's registration can be verified electronically.

If your vehicle fails its MOT, you'll receive details of the reasons for failure. The necessary repairs must be completed before the vehicle can pass a retest. Depending on the defects identified, you may not be allowed to drive the vehicle until the issues have been fixed.
