What is an MOT?

If your car is more than three years old, it will require an annual MOT test by law.

The MOT certificate that you receive when your car passes, proves that your car meets the minimum legal requirements for road safety and environmental standards.

Remember, the MOT test is primarily a safety test designed to protect you, your family and others on the road. In other words, if your car doesn’t have a valid MOT test certificate, you shouldn’t be driving it on a public road.

    Booked my car in with QCS after ongoing poor service from Audi plus eye watering costs, plus a wait of over a month to get in to deal with a fault.
