[ "All you need to know about an MOT testRequired in the United Kingdom, the MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is the annual test of vehicle safety and roadworthiness for most vehicles over the age of three used in any road specified in the Road Traffic. It applies to highways and other places available for public use that are not suitable for road use. The same provision shall apply in Northern Ireland after four years. The condition does not apply to vehicles used only on different small islands with no convenient road link in any part of the United Kingdom; there is no comparable exception for Northern Ireland, which had a single populated island, Rathlin, at the beginning of 2014How much time does an MOT test take?It takes about 45 minutes to an hour, but there are many other things you need to be prepared for. It will take much longer if your vehicle fails its MOT test or if it is damaged and needs to be repaired. The testing Centre will not allow you to let you take away your car if it has failed the MOT until all the repairs are done, unless the MOT certificate is still valid for your vehicle, or youre taking the car to have its problems fixed.Second, the test can take about one hour or less, but even if no repairs are needed, this does not necessarily mean that your vehicle will only have to be at the testing for sixty minutes or less.Centres can and may require you to drop your vehicle off and collect it later when it's ready.This means you must be prepared to be without your vehicle for at least the day.If you failed your MOT testTwo in five cars fail the MOT test the first time, and most of these reasons can be easily fixed beforehand.You havent topped up your Screenwash.The vehicle was filthy.Another principal reason for cars failing the MOT test is a registration plate, creating a problemWindscreen stickers are blocking the drivers view from any pointOn the dashboard, any lit-up lights of your car.Car failing MOTA VT30 certificate is provided if the car fails its;MOT Alton. The certificate shows the reasons for the failure. You wont be able to drive around if your vehicle has a major or dangerous fault. If thats the case, get a quote, which is where your MOT's service station and call for some other garages. They might repair it at a lower priceMOT retestIf you want to drive your car again, you should make sure that all the more significant faults are fixed. For that, you will have to take an MOT retest. You will be able to get a partial retest for free if you have left your car with the service station for repair. But you will get the test free if you take your vehicle away and return it before the end of the day" ]
