MOT Testing at Paul Whittle Car Sales
An MOT test is an annual inspection of vehicles over three years old in the United Kingdom. It is required by law to ensure that vehicles are safe to drive on the road.
The test checks a variety of safety aspects, including:

The test is carried out by a qualified MOT tester at an approved MOT test centre. The tester will use a variety of tools and equipment to check the vehicle. If any problems are found, the tester will issue a report with a list of defects. The vehicle owner will then be required to have the defects repaired before the vehicle can be driven on the road again.
