Every vehicle over 3 years requires an MOT to be legally used on the road.

If your BMW is over 3 years old, it will require an annual MOT inspection. It's a standard inspection of over 150 safety-related and emission systems, including lights, steering, brakes and suspension. Thanks to BMW's engineering standards, passing should be a formality. But there's always a chance that something could have been damaged without you realising it. The official MOT test is a legal annual safety check, without it you cannot use the vehicle on the road, tax the car and your insurance will be invalid. We are the ideal people to take care of the test and any repair work. Our technicians have specialised BMW training and only use Genuine BMW Parts to replace like-for-like, if necessary. Once your vehicle has been tested you will receive the official VT30 certificate which is your receipt for the MOT test and shows the information that will be held on the MOT database. If your vehicle should require any recommended additional work this will be listed on the advisory notice of the VT32 document.

At Peter Vardy BMW we recommend carrying out your MOT test early, we can perform your MOT up to 28 days in advance of the expiry of your existing certificate. In these circumstances we can issue whats known as a 13 month MOT, which will expire 1 year from the existing certificate. This allows you to minimise any downtime for your car, whilst arranging a mutually convenient appointment.

What the MOT covers:

- Bonnet catch
- Horn
- Number plate and VIN
- Lights
- Brakes
- Wheels and tyres
- Mirrors
- Doors
- Seats
- Vehicle structure
- Suspension
- Fuel system
- Exhaust and emissions
- Seat belts
- Steering
- Windscreen

Peter Vardy BMW will only recommend additional work if your vehicle is either illegal to drive, dangerous to drive or likely to breakdown. We always consider your annual mileage so we can recommend exactly when items may require further attention or replacement.
Book your BMW for its annual MOT with us and we’ll take care of everything. Before submitting it for the test we’ll check it over - pre-warning you of any items that require attention, such as tyres nearing their legal limit, even if it won't fail the test itself. You'll save time and money - and have the reassurance that you're safer for the road ahead.
