MOT with Collection & Delivery – Everything You Need to Know

Summary: ClickMechanic offers an MOT with collection and delivery service, allowing you to have your vehicle tested without needing to visit a garage. A mechanic will collect your vehicle, take it to an approved MOT centre, and return it once the test is complete. The cost for this service is £98, or £19 if booked with a service (interim, full, or major). If your vehicle fails the MOT, you will be issued a VT30 failure certificate with reasons for failure.

What is an MOT Test? Any car or van over three years old (four years in Northern Ireland) is legally required to undergo an MOT test. This check is performed at approved MOT testing centres to ensure the vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.

What is Checked During an MOT? The MOT test covers:

• Body structure, lighting, and trim security

• Powertrain, emissions, and braking system

• Tyres, suspension, and visibility

• Does not include checks on the engine, clutch, or transmission (except for emissions)

What Happens if My Vehicle Fails the MOT?

• Dangerous faults: The vehicle cannot be driven until repaired. Driving with a dangerous fault can result in a £2500 fine, a driving ban, or penalty points.

• Major faults: The vehicle may still be driven if the previous MOT has not expired and it is roadworthy.

My MOT has expired, can you still collect my vehicle?

• Yes, the mechanic can legally drive your car to a pre-booked MOT test.

My vehicle is uninsured, can you still collect it?

• This is not always possible. Please inform us when booking so mechanics can check if they can cover it under their insurance.
