When your Volkswagen Transporter is 3 years old or over it will require an MOT as a legal requirement. At HGS we have all the equipment to test your vehicle to the latest requirements and standards. Should your VW fail the MOT test we can carry out any repairs necessary for it to pass at extremely competitive prices.
If you’re involved in a crash without an up-to-date MOT certificate your insurance may be declared invalid, and it could cost you a small fortune in fines & repairs.
Driving without an up-to-date MOT certificate for your Volkswagen Transporter is a serious issue. Those who do so risk a large fine of up to £1000.00 and they would also invalidate their insurance and your VW could be impounded.
The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.
You must get an MOT for your vehicle by either:
– the third anniversary of its registration
– the anniversary of its last MOT, if it’s over 3 years old
The MOT tests some important items on your vehicle to check that they meet the legal standards. It isn’t the same as having your vehicle serviced and doesn’t check its general mechanical condition.
The test doesn’t cover the condition of the:
– engine
– clutch
– gearbox

Earliest Date to get MOT
Once a vehicle passes an MOT it stays valid for one full year (12 months from the testing date). The current test pass certificate will show the date when it runs out and becomes invalid.
In fact, you can MOT a vehicle up to one (1) month (minus one day) before it is due to run out. Doing so will not affect the existing renewal date.
Book in with HGS for total peace of mind.
