The Importance of Getting A MOT Test

Every Audi owner and driver in the United Kingdom should know that the MOT (Ministry of Transport Test) is a required document which is a legal requirement for all cars over the age of 3 years. As an Audi owner, it is your responsibility to acquire this document which ensures your Audi is roadworthy, completely safe to drive and environmentally acceptable. Every year an Audi will need to be taken to an Audi specialist workshop that has an approved MOT test station and the right range of equipment that is used for MOT testing.



To make sure you are getting a professional opinion, it is most important to choose the right MOT test garage. An MOT test by a professional consists of testing your Audi for both safety and emissions levels. In this post we will give you an overview of the MOT test procedure. An Audi specialist will carry out several tests on your Audi, so below we have outlined a summary of what you can expect your vehicle to be tested on:
  • Lighting and Signalling Equipment
  • Steering and suspension
  • Brakes
  • Tyres and wheels
  • Body and structure
  • Fuel and emissions
  • Mirrors, Windscreen and Bonnet
  • Motor tricycles and quadricycles
  • Registration plates and authentication number
Without an MOT, the driver of Audi in UK will not be able to obtain road tax, as an MOT certificate is required to allow a tax disc application. If the Audi passes all of these tests, then an MOT certificate is given by the Audi Specialist garage, which is recorded with a unique MOT certificate number. This certificate is valid for one year and need to be renewed before it expire.
