Booked by phone — call any branch and we’ll book you in

The fee is for the test itself, whatever the result. The DVSA sets a maximum fee for every class, and every price here is at or below it. Class 5 covers minibuses up to 5,000kg online — for anything heavier, call the branch.

How it works

Booked in a minute

Online any time of day — the branches are open Monday to Friday.

  1. Enter your reg

    We look your vehicle up and offer the MOT class its record says it needs — car, van, minibus.

  2. Pick a branch and a time

    Every branch's price for your vehicle, side by side. Choose one, then a day and time from its own diary.

  3. Pay on the day

    Nothing to pay online. Bring the vehicle in, and pay at the branch when the test is done.

FAQs

MOT questions, answered

Which MOT class does my vehicle need?
Most cars and smaller vans need a Class 4 MOT. Vans with a design gross weight over 3,000kg (up to 3,500kg) need Class 7, minibuses with 13 or more passenger seats need Class 5, and motorcycles are Class 1 or 2. Enter your registration and we’ll offer the test your vehicle’s record says it needs.
How much is an MOT?
Class 4 £49.95, Class 7 £58.60, Class 5 £59.55. The DVSA sets a maximum fee for every class, and our prices are at or below it. The fee is for the test itself, whatever the result.
Does every branch test every class?
Class 4 (cars and vans up to 3,000kg) at all four. Class 7 vans at Winton, Blandford and Ringwood. Class 5 minibuses at Winton, Blandford and Ringwood. When you book you’ll see every branch’s price for your vehicle, and any branch that doesn’t test its class says so. See the full table.
How early can I get my MOT done?
Up to a month (minus a day) before your current MOT runs out — and you keep the same renewal date. Not sure when yours is due? Use our free MOT check.
How long does an MOT take?
Most MOT tests take around an hour. Larger vehicles can take a little longer.
What happens if my vehicle fails?
You’ll get a refusal of an MOT certificate listing each defect, and we’ll talk you through them. You can drive the vehicle away only if your old MOT is still valid and nothing was marked ‘dangerous’ — otherwise it needs repairing first. Retests are charged in line with the DVSA’s rules, and we’ll tell you the cost before any retest.
Can I book a motorcycle MOT?
Yes — motorcycle MOTs (Class 1 and 2) are booked by phone for now. Call any of our branches and they’ll book you in. See motorcycle MOTs.
How do I pay?
You book online and pay at the branch on the day, when the test is done.
