Ford MOT

We understand that caring for your Ford is important to you, which is why our expert Ford technicians are trained to service any model using the latest techniques and diagnostic equipment, to ensure the safety of your vehicle on the road. Booking your Ford in for an MOT can be an inconvenience, which is why we strive to make sure your vehicle is returned to you in perfect condition as quickly and conveniently as possible.

An MOT test is an essential evaluation that checks your vehicle's safety, roadworthiness, and emissions standards. It covers various components, from brakes and fuel systems to lights, mirrors, and seatbelts, ensuring everything operates correctly for safe driving.

• Electrical Checks: We examine all lights, warning signals, and the horn to ensure everything functions correctly.
• Under Vehicle Checks: We assess the brakes, steering, suspension, exhaust system, and tyres for safety and efficiency.
• Under Bonnet Inspections: Our team delves deeper, inspecting the auxiliary drive belt, hydraulic fluid, clutch, and power steering fluid.
• Exterior Checks: Our technicians inspect the exterior for any damage, including the windscreen, wipers, and door locks.

Vehicles that are three years old or more are required to have an MOT test once every 12 months. You will not legally be allowed to drive unless you have a valid MOT certificate. If you have a new Ford and you are unsure when your MOT is due, the time of registration date will provide you with the date at which it needs its first MOT. 

When your Ford needs its first MOT

Your Ford will need to undergo a series of tests to check that its vital components meet the legal standards for your safety. You can choose to keep your MOT expiry date the same by getting an MOT up to a day before it is due. Or, you can get your MOT test up to 30 days before your current MOT certificate is due to expire.

As the driver, it is your responsibility to ensure that your Ford receives an MOT test by a trained professional on an annual basis. If you fail to get an MOT, you could face a fine of up to £1,000 and your insurance will become invalid. It is illegal to drive without an MOT and car insurance.

Getting your Ford MOT test can take between 45 and 60 minutes to complete, but it is better to allow for a full hour before you collect your vehicle. However, there are a few things you should consider when booking your MOT:

• Make sure you allow time for repairs just in case your Ford were to fail its MOT
• The test centre has a legal obligation to prevent you from driving away in your Ford if it does not have a valid MOT certificate
• Some test centres may ask you to drop off your Ford first thing in the morning, just in case it needs repairs
• It is better to plan to be without your vehicle for an entire day

Here at Group 1 Ford, you can get your Ford MOT for £54.85. Should your vehicle need any remedial work, our Ford specialist technicians will talk you through any repairs that may need doing. Leave your Ford in our capable hands and we will make sure it provides peak performance with every drive.
