Cars, vans or light commercial vehicles that are three years old or more need an annual MOT test (except those made before 1960 or goods vehicles powered by electricity).
You can book an appointment by phone on 01794 522103 or just call in to P&B Autocentre Romsey.
Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT could lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and 3 points on your licence. It can even invalidate your insurance for example if you are involved in an accident and have no current MOT.
Without a current MOT you can't renew your vehicle's Road Fund Licence which can lead to your vehicle being towed away to a compound where you'll have to pay a hefty release fee when you retrieve it.
If the Police catch you driving without a valid MOT, the penalty of points on your driving licence will lead to higher insurance costs for several years.
So don't take the risk...

When your vehicle passes the examination, P&B Autocentre Romsey will provide you with an MOT certificate.
