Question is – Is a MOT the same as a Service? Well, let’s break the two down!…
How often? MOT vs Service
A MOT is conducted on an annual basis on vehicles 3 years of age or above which is a legal requirement set by DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). A car or van service is recommended every 12 months and although not compulsory it plays a vital role in increasing the longevity of your vehicle.
What’s included? MOT vs Service
During a MOT, your car or van will be inspected by an accredited person by DVSA. What’s inspected? The Exterior, Interior and under the bonnet. Here is a MOT checklist>> to be precise!
A service involves a vehicle check as well as removing mechanical parts and adding components where necessary. At Express Fit Autocentres we offer three different service packages for your vehicles’ convenience.
What is the purpose? MOT vs Service
A MOT is for the purpose of ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy and complies with the minimum safety standards and levels of exhaust emissions. You could say the purpose of a service is the same – regular servicing can minimise potential problems escalating and amplify your safety on the road. Just think of a service as being an added bonus;
- Improves safety and lifespan of your vehicle
- Increases the saving power
- Maintains the value of your auto on wheels
