How often do I need to MOT my SEAT?

If your SEAT is brand-new, the time of registration will give you a date for when its first MOT is due. Once your vehicle reaches 3 years of age, you are required to have a valid MOT test on an annual basis. A valid MOT certificate only lasts for 12 months.

When your SEAT needs its first MOT

During its MOT, your SEAT will undergo thorough testing to make sure that important parts meet the legal standards set by the government. You can get an MOT up to a day before the expiry date to keep the same renewal date. Or you can get an MOT up to one month before the certificate is due to expire to change the renewal date.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your SEAT is examined by a trained professional every 12 months. If you fail to provide a valid MOT test certificate, you could be fined up to £1000. Your car insurance will also become invalid from the moment you have been issued a certificate of MOT failure, and driving without a valid MOT and insurance certificate is illegal.

How long does an MOT take?

On average, an MOT test takes between 45 and 60 minutes, but it’s best to allow for an hour before you go to collect your SEAT. However, there are a few things to take into consideration when booking a SEAT MOT:

• If your SEAT fails the test, repairs will lengthen the time it takes to complete the MOT
• Legally, a test centre is not allowed to let you drive away in your SEAT if it has failed its MOT. The problems have to be fixed unless your existing MOT certificate is still valid
• Test centres may require you to drop your vehicle off first thing in the morning and you can collect it when it is ready. You should be prepared to be without your SEAT for an entire day

How much does a SEAT MOT cost?
 

A maximum fee of £54.85 is set by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency for official test centres. At Group 1 SEAT, we offer an MOT with free protection for just £49.99. Our SEAT-trained specialists provide all the care and attention your vehicle deserves, carrying out thorough tests and checks to ensure the safety of your SEAT when on the road. We’ll make sure that your SEAT is returned to you in optimum condition.
