Vehicle MOT

If your vehicle is three years old or more you must have a valid MOT certificate for it.

An MOT, or Ministry of Transportation test, is an annual inspection that tests both the safety of your vehicle and the level of emissions in the
exhaust.

It is a legal requirement in the UK that your vehicle is examined every 12 months.

Without an MOT certificate, you will be unable to renew your road tax and your car cannot be insured.

MOT-nominated testers are accredited by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) to assess your vehicle against specific safety criteria and to pass it as acceptable and safe or not.

You can now insure your Vauxhall against MOT failure. Vauxhall MOT Test Insurance is specifically designed to assist your vehicle through its next test. Quite simply, it removes the element of uncertainty.

With MOT Test Insurance, should your car or car-derived van (CDV) fail its MOT, it is covered for the cost of repair or replacement of an extensive range of parts up to a total value of £750 (inc. the cost of labour and VAT).

If you make a claim, you need only pay a £10 excess (Inc. VAT), the cost of the re-test and, of course, any item not covered by the policy.

If the car is sold privately the policy can be transferred to the new owner.

Once you've taken out the insurance, all we ask is that you service your vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and take your vehicle to a Vauxhall retailer for its next MOT.
