    Tyres are one of the main reasons vehicles fail an MOT, so it's worth checking the condition of them before the test. If they need replacing, contact your DriverLine.

    To keep your car in top shape, remember to regularly check the condition of your tyres and keep an eye on your coolant, windscreen wiper fluid and oil levels.

Our MOT slots prioritise those most in need while ensuring your job is handled promptly.

If you don’t, you can take your vehicle to any main dealer or independent garage to be serviced as long as: - The garage is a VAT registered business. - Any parts replaced are manufacturer approved with paperwork showing the work has been carried out. Please keep these documents as they will need to be returned with the vehicle at the end of your contract (if applicable). How long will the MOT take? The majority of vehicles that go in for an MOT are returned the same day if there are no complex issues. The vehicle should be ready for collection between 4pm - 5pm or delivered back to you between 4pm - 5.30pm - unless otherwise agreed. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a specific time. If any complex issues are found, your vehicle may be off the road for more than a day. If this happens, we’ll let you know as soon as possible and we’ll aim to return the vehicle as fast as we can. A courtesy vehicle may be available but we can’t promise a like for like one. We can provide you with a hire vehicle (at a cost) if you need one, depending on your contract. If you do get a replacement vehicle, please take the necessary steps to protect yourself from COVID-19 and check that all surfaces have been wiped down.Should I MOT the vehicle before returning it at the end of my contract?

Yes - please contact the DriverLine and select the ‘MOT’ option. This is only available during regular business hours - 9am to 5pm. You can also request the original copy.
