EV MOT Tests Only £40

If your car is three years or older, then it’s a legal requirement for it to have a valid MOT certificate whether it has a combustion engine or an electric motor. The MOT Test is designed to examine a vehicle's safety, road-worthiness and tailpipe emissions. Even though tailpipe emissions are hardly relevant for an EV, making sure they're safe to drive is of paramount importance.

Apart from the emissions test, an electric car is submitted to the same rigorous testing of its main components including lights, brakes, wipers, suspension and steering to ensure that it is safe to drive. Without a valid MOT certificate, you’ll be unable to renew your car's insurance.
