If you are a new car owner then you probably wont know about it. The first thing that you should be worried about is whether you are eligible for taking the MOT test already? If yes then how should you be preparing for it? There are many more queries that shall run into your mind with the utterance of the term MOT. So let us take some time out from our busy schedule and have this quick discussion on it for the good.EligibilityThe motive of the test has been to arrest the rate of road accidents and traffic due to ill-maintained cars and vehicles on road. So a new car can't create such situations from the first day. That is why the first three years of a car, when it is sure to be in its good condition with or without much care, are excluded from the eligible list of vehicles. But from the fourth year, every vehicle needs to make an appointment for the test without fail. Apart from that if you have a car which is 40 years old or even more, then you can consider yourself out of the list as well. But if you have made some substantial changes to the interior of it then you shall have to check with the MOT testing authorities about your exemption.Test: Timings, Frequency, CostThe test is fixed as an annual examination, which means if you have passed the test in February this year, you can rest for the next 12 months and again get ready to get tested next February. Moreover, it does not take much time to get your MOT testing done. It shall hardly take someone an hour or even less than that, and if you have been careful about your car maintenance throughout the year then passing it shall almost feel like a cakewalk.

You might get huge discounts on the MOT Test Newcastle as well and often the MOT fee varies from the garage to garage. On the other hand, MOT re-test can be charge-free or of a minimal amount if the retest is taken within the initial 10 days after failing the first time; but beyond that, you will have to pay the whole of it once again.The DontsIt is a punishable offence to drive without a valid MOT certificate and so it is important to follow the rules and make an appointment for your next MOT a little before time. Missing out on the date of the retest is a big NO, as driving even one day without the MOT is not acceptable. Also do not lose the MOT certificate as it is an important document that needs to be there with you all the time.In case your car gets categorized as dangerous, you cannot think of moving out of the centre without making the repairs. It is absolutely against the law to be out on the road even for driving to another garage in such conditions." ]
