Use this guide in the week before your MOT test. You will need a helper or a reflective surface for checking lights, a tyre tread gauge or a coin, and access to screenwash and your car handbook.
Step by step
Check the due date and book
Use the MOT history service on GOV.UK to confirm when the test is due and see any advisories from last time. Book at an approved MOT test centre, which shows the blue sign with three white triangles. You can test up to a month (minus a day) early and keep the same renewal date.
