What
are the 3 types of car service?
Essentially, there are three different types of car service: Interim service, Full and Major. When you visit different garages and dealerships, they might call their packages something different to try and put their own stamp on it. Don't be confused by this - there's always three levels in a tiered pricing structure.
Is
a full service worth it?
A full-service history shows potential buyers that a car's been well looked after and should be reliable, as it's been checked over at regular intervals by a professional. It also helps people discover the true mileage, so they don't end up with a clocked car.
How long can I drive without MOT?
An MOT lasts for a year. The date it runs out is printed on
your current MOT pass certificate. You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT. You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it
runs out and keep the same renewal date.
Do
police know if you have no MOT?
A 'refusal of MOT certificate' is recorded in the MOT database, which means that you can be caught by police, or ANPR camera.
Is
a failed MOT recorded?
If the vehicle fails
the early MoT test,
many drivers still believe they can continue to drive the vehicle until their
old pass certificate runs out. However, any fail on an MoT test is recorded as a failure on a national database
that's accessed by police with ANPR cameras.
Why is my MOT expiry date incorrect?
It can sometimes take up to
5 days for the MOT expiry date to be updated after you present your vehicle for
testing.
What happens if my vehicle
doesn't have a valid MOT?
Every
car driving on the roads in the UK is required to be kept in a roadworthy
condition with a valid MOT. Therefore, if your car doesn't have an MOT, it
shouldn't be driven as it could be putting yourself and other road users at
risk.
