The MOT, or "Ministry of Transport," test is an annual inspection for vehicles over three years old in the United Kingdom to determine their roadworthiness, safety, and other parameters. In London, all vehicles, including tyres, must adhere to road safety and environmental regulations. The regulations for this inspection vary for limousines.

The Vehicle Operator and Services Agency, or VOSA, oversees the MOT. This can be accomplished at any of the garages authorised as Vehicle Testing Stations for an assortment of vehicles. If you have a diesel vehicle, the VTS must be explicitly designated for carrying out diesel testing.

Online verification of the MOT certificate and access to information about previous inspections are also available. If your vehicle's inspection has expired, you can schedule one in advance and drive directly to the garage to renew it.

The Cheap MOT in London consists of the following essential components:
