How to compare mot testing

An MOT is an annual roadworthiness and emissions check for most cars once they reach the qualifying age. Price matters, but appointment availability, retest policy and the garage’s approach to authorising repairs matter too.

  • Confirm the test centre is approved and displays the official blue MOT sign
  • Ask whether the quoted price includes any retest
  • Check your current expiry date before choosing an appointment
  • Do not assume a valid MOT means the car is safe between tests

What should I compare when booking an MOT?

Compare the test fee, appointment time, retest policy, location and whether the garage will contact you before carrying out repairs.

Can an MOT garage charge less than the maximum fee?

Yes. The government sets a maximum fee, but test centres can charge less. Confirm any conditions attached to a discounted test.
