Welcome to our directory of MOT Test Stations — your go-to resource for finding certified garages across the UK that can carry out the vital MOT inspection. Whether you’re seeking a nearby station or comparing options, here’s what you need to know to make the right choice.

Choosing an MOT test station

In deciding where to go, consider:

• Certification: The station must be an authorised MOT centre — only these can issue legal certificates.

• Reputation & reviews: Look for feedback from other drivers on customer service, reliability and honesty.

• Convenience: Location, opening hours, and whether they offer bookings or walk-ins.

• Additional services: Many MOT stations double as general repair or servicing centres, which can help if any items fail the test.

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a mandatory annual safety, roadworthiness and emissions check for vehicles over three years old (in most cases). It’s designed to confirm that your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required by law. Without a valid MOT, you may be breaking the law to drive on public roads — and could be liable to fines, points, or insurance complications.
