[ "INTRODUCTION TO THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT (MOT) SERVICEAn MOT service is a service that comprises numerous checks of your vehicle. The main goal of this service is to assure that your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards set by the DVSA and that your vehicle is worthy of the road i.e. it is safe to drive on the road. Also after passing the MOT test you get a valid MOT certificate which is essential, without the certificate you are not allowed to drive on the road even if you've passed the MOT test. This test is performed after your vehicle has been in your life for three years or more and then the test is repeated every year on the same date as before. The MOT checklist involves checking vehicle emissions, fuel system, tyres and wheels, doors, horns, wipers and washers, lights, vehicle identification number (VIN), exhaust system, brakes, mirror, seat belts and seats, windscreen, steering and suspension and registration plate. An MOT test is equally important as regular vehicle service. If the service of your vehicle is done properly, you'll surely be able to pass the MOT testWhile, both MOT Whitchurch and regular car service, seem similar in many cases, they are completely different. Both the services have their checklists, the checks for both of them are different. To know the exact difference between an MOT test and a regular car service, we need to know all the major differences between them. One difference between them is that the MOT test is set up by DVSA and is done once a year, every year after three years of usage of your vehicle from the day you bought it. Whereas, a regular car service is done on a routine basis as per the condition of your vehicle. This regular service of your vehicle is recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. The first and foremost goal of this service is to keep your vehicle up to the mark, considering safety. The MOT test is carried out by highly qualified technicians also known as MOT testers. Whereas, a regular vehicle service does not require a very highly educated person it can be carried out by a normal mechanic as well. Servicing of your vehicle is advised to be done at regular intervals to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. According to the vehicle manufacturer, you should get your vehicle serviced every six months i.e. two times a year and an MOT service to be done every once a yearCAN WE GET A REGULAR CAR SERVICE AND AN MOT SERVICE TOGETHER ON THE SAME DAY?If you are in a situation where both your MOT service and your regular car service are due, then you can get both the services done together on the same date and same place. Combining the two services is not a bad idea, also, your chances of failing the test are zero as your vehicle will be serviced just before the MOT test, so chances of failing are very less or zero failures. A few reasons why combining them is a better option, are mentioned below. Less nuisance - combining the two services means getting both the services at the same places by the same technicians. Ignore going for both the services at different places, if you can avail both the services at the same place. If both your services are due and the dates are near then you should preferably choose a place where you can get both done. A place where the testers can carry both the services under one roof so that you can get all the necessary vehicle maintenance done in one place. Saves time - time is money these days and going to the service centres, waiting for hours and getting an appointment is a stupid idea, especially if you are getting the appointment for MOT and regular car service separately. If your MOT and regular car service are due around the same dates, you can get a single appointment for both of them. Rather than going to the service centre, you can simply book an appointment online for MOT and car service and select the date and timing at your convenience, choose accordingly as per your busy schedule Saves cost- booking online to get an appointment for the services you want, can be very cost-friendly. Most of the time you'll find discounts online on their website. However, meaning online appointments for both MOT service and regular car service offers you more discount on your bookingAfter getting an MOT service, many people are not satisfied with their MOT results, they are not glad about the way their MOT Whitchurch is carried out. In this case, anyone who is not completely satisfied with the test results can make a complaint to the DVSA (Driver and vehicle standard agency). They will be in contact with you within 4-5 days. After looking forward to your complaint, if they choose to recheck your vehicle, you'll have to pay the entire test money again. Make sure you do not get any repairs or replacements done to your car during the re-testing procedure." ]
