[ "Are you ready for your MOT test?Have you ever wondered what exactly is an MOT test and why you should take it every year? The MOT examination is a yearly assessment of exhaust emissions, roadworthiness aspects, and car safety and is mandatory all around the UK for all automobiles that are three years or older. The MOT was first created in 1960 and it used to consist of a few simple tests, however, now it covers more than twenty different components and systems within your vehicle, which also makes it extremely difficult to pass.Nowadays, the MOT documentation is issued in all Great Britain, including Northern Ireland. There are around 53,000 authorized centres that perform the test and issue licenses. All of them are regulated by the government and should always follow the guidelines established on the Road Traffic Act of 1988. In theory, anyone should be able to apply to operate an MOT Leicester centre, however, to obtain proper approval, the person wanting to operate the station and the premises have to comply with some basic standards established on the official MOT website.The exam was initially a simple evaluation including steering, brakes, and lights test, which had to be done once the car was more than nine years old. This rule became famous and was named "nine-year test". Nonetheless, the failure rate ended up decreasing the time that cars need to be tested to six years in 1961. Still, in 1967 the age was cut to three, and other types of vehicles were included in the list such as taxis, ambulances, taxis, and buses.The designation used once your car gets the MOT certificate is known as VT20, the one used when it fails is known as VT30. It is completely forbidden to drive your vehicle without a valid MOT certificate, except when you need to drive from or to a booked test or when you are required to drive to your nearest garage to repair all the failures discovered during your previous MOT. Having a recent VT20 certificate is indispensable for getting car excise duty, even some ads for used automobiles often disclose the number of months remaining on the existing MOT.A car can suffer major failure and damage after the test was carried out, however, the certificate will still be legitimate, and getting a new test is not necessary, even though some insurance corporations may require new examinations, but it would be up to them as it is not required by law. Still, driving a car which is not in the best condition on the streets is always prohibited, regardless of its MOT status.What is tested during your MOT?Overview of an MOTMost of the UK MOT testing facilities are strictly controlled and certified by the DVSA, and the private centres running the assessments also must be certified and trained.
