How much does an MOT cost?
The exact cost of an MOT will depend on your vehicle, but the maximum cost for a car is £54.85 and £29.65 for a standard motorbike. You can find a full breakdown of MOT costs on GOV.UK.
Can I drive my car without MOT if it is booked in?
No, it’s illegal to drive or park your car on the road if the MOT has run out. If your MOT is out of date, you can only drive it to or from your MOT test appointment.
Do I need a motorbike MOT?
Yes, you need a valid MOT for your motorbike. Just as with cars, most motorbike types over 3 years old need to have a valid MOT certificate.
This means you need to get them tested once a year to ensure the motorbike is roadworthy and fit to ride.
You can see whether your motorbike needs an MOT by using our MOT status checker.
An MOT certificate is a legal requirement, and you could be fined £1,000 if caught without one.
Without an MOT certificate, your motorbike insurance is likely to be invalid.
