Frequently Asked Questions About Car Servicing, Repairs & MOT's at Stanton Automotive
Frequently asked questions
General
Legally you must have an MOT carried out annually after the third anniversary of your vehicle’s registration; this means that if you buy a car brand new, you won’t need to take it in for an MOT until it is 3 years old. However, you are still responsible for ensuring it is roadworthy.
If your car fails its MOT, you’ll be given a ‘refusal of an MOT test certificate’ from the test centre, this will highlight the area where your vehicle failed. These issues will need to be addressed before having your car retested; we offer a free retest if remedial work is carried out by us.
