If your BMW is over three years old, it now requires an annual MOT inspection. It’s a standard inspection of over 150 safety-related and emission systems, including lights, steering, brakes and suspension. And thanks to BMW’s engineering standards, passing should be a formality. But there’s always a chance that something could have been damaged without you realising it.

The official MOT test is a useful annual safety check – and we are the ideal people to take care of the test and any required repair work. We have specialised BMW training and only use Genuine BMW Parts to replace like-for-like, if necessary.

Once your vehicle has passed, you will receive the official VT20 certificate which is your receipt for the MOT test and shows the information that will be held on the MOT database. If your vehicle should require any recommended additional work this will be listed on the advisory notice of the VT32 document.
