Why MOT Matters

The MOT Test is a road safety measure designed to ensure vehicles over 3 years old are properly maintained, roadworthy, and meet UK safety and environmental standards.

What is an MOT Test?

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual examination that assesses the roadworthiness and safety aspects of vehicles in the UK. Conducted by authorised testing centres, these tests evaluate engine, brakes, lights, exhaust emissions and more, ensuring compliance with minimum safety and environmental standards.

The MOT Test Process

1. Vehicle Identification & Documentation: Registration, VIN, and records are verified.
2. Lighting & Signaling: Headlights, indicators, brake lights and fog lights are tested.
3. Braking System: Brake pads, discs and hydraulic components are checked for performance.
4. Emissions & Exhaust: Exhaust emissions are tested to meet environmental standards.
5. Suspension & Steering: Components are examined for wear to ensure safe handling and comfort.

J Edgar & Son Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 522916). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows J Edgar & Son Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only. We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
