Pre MOT Check | From Just £10

Over 127,500 drivers have compared instant prices to book an MOT in the last month

You can avoid 3/5 of the most common MOT failures (Lights, Tyres and Visibility) with a simple visual pre-MOT check. So, if it's such a good idea, why do so many drivers settle for dealing with an MOT failure rather than checking their car to help prevent it?

Book a pre MOT check through BookMyGarage to reduce your chances of an unnecessary MOT failure (available at selected garages on our comparison site). While you can follow this checklist yourself, we recommend using a technician for extra peace of mind. A pre MOT check increases the likelihood of your vehicle passing the test as the technician completes a visual inspection of your vehicle directly before the official MOT test.

Book your pre MOT test through BookMyGarage to increase your likelihood of passing first time today.

Please be aware that a pre MOT check will not guarantee that your car will pass the MOT inspection. The technician can only complete the visual inspections during this check, so your car may still fail on faults related to emissions or any areas which require the use of the ramp.

Benefits of the Pre MOT Check

There are plenty of benefits to booking a pre MOT check alongside your MOT test:

Peace of Mind

If you’re worried that your car will fail its MOT, we strongly recommend booking a pre MOT check.

Even if you have confidence in your car, a professional opinion doesn’t hurt. Our check will make sure that you avoid an unnecessary failure due to a problem that's easy to spot and fix.

While completing the check yourself will give you some peace of mind, we recommend getting a technician to do it for you.

Repairs on Your Terms

If your car fails its MOT, you may not be able to drive it to another garage to get the issues fixed. Not being able to shop around for quotes or being able to choose which garage performs the work can often result in higher repair bills.

If you book your appointment early enough, you will be able to compare other garages to get the repairs done at the best price and then return for your MOT. While a pre MOT check sounds like an extra hassle at an already stressful time, it can actually give you more control if the technician finds a problem.

Increased Likelihood of MOT Pass

If you find and fix any faults your car has before your MOT, it will be more likely to pass first time. While a pre MOT check doesn’t guarantee a pass because it doesn’t include the emissions test or any checks involving a ramp, it increases the likelihood of one.

Increased Chance of Selling Your Vehicle For True Value

If your car already has a ‘clean’ MOT history, you don’t want to ruin that with an unnecessary failure. A good MOT record demonstrates to potential buyers that you have taken good care of the car and have fixed any problems it developed. A poor MOT record can hurt your chances of an easy sale and reduce the value of your car.

Following the MOT checklist before your next test increases the likelihood of preserving the quality of your car’s MOT history and gives buyers the confidence they need.
