Having knowledge of the MOT history of a car before purchasing allows you to be more informed about the history of a car, any recurring mechanical faults and whether the car has been well maintained by the previous owner(s). An MOT test ensures that the car is in a roadworthy condition and meets the UK standards. A car should have an MOT every year after it is three years old — before this, an MOT isn’t required. Driving a car without a valid MOT is against the law and can result in a fine of up to £2,500, three points on your licence and potentially a ban from driving. As such, it is essential that a car you’re buying has a valid MOT and has a clean history. Frequently asked questions Q: What happens if my vehicle doesn’t have a valid MOT?
