The Importance of MOT and Regular Service

As a hybrid vehicle owner, it’s essential to ensure that your car remains in peak condition, not just for performance but also for safety. One of the most important checks you’ll need to schedule is your annual MOT. This test is a legal requirement for all vehicles over three years old and ensures your car is roadworthy. Failing to have a valid MOT can result in fines and penalty points, so it's crucial to stay on top of it.

What to Expect After Your MOT

Once your vehicle has completed the MOT test, you’ll receive a new certificate valid for the next 12 months, proving your car is ready to hit the roads. If any issues arise during the test, our expert technicians will inform you of the faults and recommend steps to address them.

MOT faults are categorized into different levels, and it’s essential to understand the distinctions:

• Advisories and Minor Faults: These won’t prevent your car from passing the test, but it’s best to address them sooner rather than later to avoid further issues down the line.

• Major and Dangerous Faults: These are serious issues that must be fixed immediately. If your vehicle has a dangerous fault, it cannot be driven until it’s repaired and retested.

This ensures your hybrid is both safe to drive and compliant with road regulations.
