What is an MOT?

​An MOT (Ministry of Transport test) is a legally required annual vehicle inspection for cars and light commercial vehicles over three years old in the UK. The test ensures your vehicle meets the safety and environmental standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

​​​

At Harrietsham Garage in Maidstone, we carry out comprehensive MOT testing to check key components such as:

• Brakes and braking systems

• Suspension and steering

• Tyres and wheels

• Lights and electrical systems

• Exhaust and emissions

• Seatbelts and safety equipment

• Windscreen, wipers, and washers

Our qualified testers ensure your vehicle is safe, roadworthy, and fully compliant with UK regulations.
