Finding an MOT garage
Driveboard marks 1,047 garages as MOT centres, and only after checking them against DVSA's own list of approved test stations for cars.
How we check
Lots of garages say they do MOTs. We only mark one as an MOT centre when it appears on DVSA's list of active test stations authorised for class 4 vehicles, which covers ordinary cars. Opening hours come from the garage's own listing.
MOT reminders
Add your cars in the Driveboard app with their MOT date and you get a reminder a month, a week and a day before it runs out.
