An MOT and a service are two very different things. An MOT is a legal requirement which provides a technical inspection of your vehicle. A car service ensures that your car is safe for the road by checking and replacing wear and tear parts and fluids.
For every vehicle over three years old, an MOT is an annual legal requirement to guarantee your roadworthiness and safety, this test is a legal requirement and includes a range of vehicle safety checks to ensure your car is roadworthy and fit for purpose as per the guidelines set out by the DVSA.
Car servicing is recommended at regular set intervals to keep your car safe, reliable, and in optimal condition. The vehicle manufacturer will usually suggest an interim service approximately every 6 months and an annual service every year. Your annual mileage will also determine how often you should service your car.
