You can check your MOT due date for free on the official GOV.UK website. Just enter your vehicle registration. Alternatively, ask us, we're happy to help you find out.
A Class 4 MOT covers cars, small vans, motorhomes, and 4x4s with up to 8 passenger seats. This is the most common MOT class and applies to the vast majority of private vehicles on the road. We can MOT most Class 4 MOT's, although we do have a height restriction due to the rollerdoor so motorhomes and high top vans can be problematic.
