When Is My MOT Due? Check Your Date in Brierley Hill

The 3-year MOT rule

Your MOT is due every year after your car is three years old. The first MOT is carried out when your car reaches three years of age; after that, it is required every 12 months to keep your car on the road legally.

Missing your MOT test date carries a £1,000 fine and invalidates your insurance if you are stopped. Driving without a valid MOT also costs points on your licence — not worth the risk.

Check your MOT due date online

You can check when your MOT is due using the free DVLA MOT checker. Enter your registration number and you will see the exact date your test is due, plus your MOT history and test results if you have passed before.

Book your MOT in Brierley Hill

We recommend booking your MOT test at least two weeks before the due date. This gives us availability and means you are not caught short if the test reveals any issues needing repair.
