Electric Car MOT

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EV MOTS
Excellent Service as rated by you on Trustpilot.

Does an electric vehicle need an MOT?

Yes, all EVs that are more than 3 years old require an MOT. This is like any other vehicle.

How does an MOT differ for an electric vehicle?

The main difference between an MOT for an electric car and a petrol or diesel car is that there is no emissions or noise test. Other than that, the tester will still check everything they would normally check including lights, seat belts, steering, wheels etc.

What if my electric vehicle fails an MOT?

Just like an MOT for a petrol or diesel car, if your electric car fails its MOT you will be informed by the tester and told the reasons why. You will then have 10 working days to have the defects rectified and your vehicle retested.

How much does an MOT for an electric car cost?

Our MOT Test for an electric car is only £39.95, that’s the same as we charge for a petrol or diesel car. The DVSA maximum price is £54.85.
