If you own a car or van that is 3 years old or more, it will likely need an MOT test by law. The MOT confirms that your vehicle meets the current legal standards for safety, roadworthiness and exhaust emissions. Please note: it’s illegal to drive a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate. If you do, you risk a hefty fine. You’ll also probably invalidate your motor insurance, and you can’t renew your road tax either.
An MOT is valid for 12 months. You can visit us for your MOT up to 1 month before your MOT expires. We add the time remaining on your old certificate to the new one.

Put simply, your vehicle’s MOT is its yearly health check, involving a multi-point check of various external and internal features. Our Ford specialists and general mechanics mark each item on the list as a ‘pass’, ‘advisory’ or one of 3 fault categories: ‘minor’, ‘major’ or ‘dangerous’.
Following a successful MOT, JH Autos Ltd hands over your new certificate. With your new documentation, you’re free to get back on the roads of Addlestone, Byfleet, Staines, Sunbury, Walton-on-Thames and the surrounding areas immediately.

If your car fails MOT testing, there’s no need to panic. As long as you don’t leave testing to the last minute, you will still have a valid MOT certificate. This means you can legally leave our premises on the day, provided your vehicle doesn’t have any ‘dangerous’ faults.
Following the test, however, we will issue a VT30 certificate recording the failure. This lists the reasons for failure, your vehicle’s details and the MOT test number. You can book necessary repairs and an MOT retest with our team, including Ford specialists. As long as this is done within 10 days of the original test, you will not have to pay another test fee. However, if you wait longer than 10 days, you’ll need another full MOT.
