This online facility allows you to book a MOT or Taxi Compliance Test and to check the date and time of any future inspection that has already been booked. You will need your full vehicle registration to confirm this information.
Using this online facility you can book the following tests:
| Private MOT's | Taxi Compliance Tests |
|---|---|
| Full MOT | Full Test |
| Retest | Retest |
| Safety Check | |

If you are licensing a new vehicle you must first submit the relevant application form along with the relevant documentation before a test can be booked. Please click here for more information on new vehicles.
To cancel or reschedule an appointment that has already been booked please contact the Licensing Team as soon as possible on 01744 676770. All appointments must be cancelled or changed a minimum of 7 days in advance, not including weekends and bank holidays. Failure to do so could incur additional costs.
If your vehicle fails a test then a retest will be required within 10 working days of the initial test, otherwise another full test will then be required. In cases where a vehicle is submitted for testing with serious defects, the licence may be suspended with immediate effect until such a time as the defects are corrected. This will incur a full test.
For full information on each area that your vehicle will be tested on. Please see our current test inspection manual.
If your vehicle fails its compliance test on three or more major fail areas, then the retest will be subject to the same fee as the initial test.
Major fails are noted as national MOT standards (excluding emissions and foreign objects in tyres):
