An MOT test is a detailed inspection designed to check that your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required for driving on UK roads. At Prestige Auto Solutions, your vehicle is inspected by a qualified MOT tester who will carry out a series of checks both inside and outside the vehicle. The MOT usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the vehicle and whether any issues are found during the inspection.
