Understanding the MOT Test
An MOT test is an essential evaluation that checks your vehicle's safety, roadworthiness, and emissions standards. It covers various components, from brakes and fuel systems to lights, mirrors, and seatbelts, ensuring everything operates correctly for safe driving.
- Filter & Oil Change: We replace your oil and oil filter annually for optimal performance.
- Electrical Checks: We examine all lights, warning signals, and the horn to ensure everything functions correctly.
- Under Vehicle Checks: We assess the brakes, steering, suspension, exhaust system, and tyres for safety and efficiency.
- Air Filter Check: Ensuring your vehicle's air filter is in good condition to minimise CO2 emissions.
- Under Bonnet Inspections: Our team delves deeper, inspecting the auxiliary drive belt, hydraulic fluid, clutch, and power steering fluid.

How often do I need to MOT my smart?
Vehicles that are three years old or more are required to have an MOT test once every 12 months. You will not legally be allowed to drive unless you have a valid MOT certificate. To find out when your smart needs its first MOT, look for its date of registration.
When your smart needs its first MOT
Your smart will need to go through a series of tests to check that vital components
meet the legal standards, to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. You can take your vehicle in for its MOT up to 30 days before your certificate expires, but your new MOT certificate will not come into play until your current one expires.As the driver, it is your responsibility to ensure that your smart receives an MOT test by a trained professional on an annual basis. If you fail to get an MOT, you could face a fine of up to £1000, and your insurance will become invalid. It is illegal to drive your vehicle without an MOT certificate and car insurance.
How long does an MOT take?
Getting your smart MOT test can take between 45 and 60 minutes to complete, but it is better to allow for a full hour before you collect your vehicle. However, there are a few things you should consider when booking your smart MOT:
- Make sure you allow time for repairs just in case your smart was to fail its MOT
- The test centre has a legal obligation to prevent you from driving away in your smart if it has failed its MOT, and it is not covered by an existing MOT certificate
- Some test centres may ask you to drop off your vehicle first thing in the morning, just in case it needs repairs
- It is better to plan to be without your car for an entire day
How much does a smart MOT cost?
Official test centres cannot charge more than £54.85 for an MOT test, which is the
maximum fee enforced by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency. Here at Group 1 smart, you can get your smart MOT with free protection for just £35.00. Our smart specialist technicians will talk you through any repairs should your vehicle need any remedial work.
