Booking an MOT in Kent

Check your MOT due date first. You can have the test up to a month (minus a day) before the current certificate runs out and keep the same renewal date.

Free. No sign-up. Data from the DVSA MOT history database.

  • Price: the maximum fee is £54.85 for a car, £29.65 for a motorcycle and £58.60 for a class 7 van. Many Kent garages charge less, so ask when you book.
  • Vehicle class: make sure the centre tests your class of vehicle. The badges above show which classes each centre is approved for.
  • If it fails: leaving the vehicle for repair usually means a free partial retest within 10 working days. See our failed MOT guide.
  • Before the test: check lights, tyres, wipers, washer fluid and warning lights. They cause many avoidable fails.
