All EC states must comply with a Directive to ensure that vehicles using public roads are mechanically safe and operate within emissions limits.

In mainland Britain, cars and light commercial vehicles must be Tested when they are three years old and annually thereafter (this varies throughout the EC). In some Countries the mechanical and emissions Tests are separate.

The UK MOT now covers over 150 checks of safety- related and emissions systems. If your vehicle fails it's M.O.T test, Discount Auto Spares will provide an estimate of costs, and following your approval, carry out all repairs required and take the car back for a re-test, which is FREE within 10 days of the initial failure.
