But remember.. The M.O.T. Is not an engineers report on the condition of your vehicle... It simply means that certain items have been checked and that - at the time of your M.O.T. And only at that time, they satisfied a minimum standard which is set by the department of transport.

If you buy a used car and they say "it's got a years M.O.T", we advise you to still have an independent engineer check the vehicle over before you buy it.
