When is my car's first MOT due?
Three years after it was first registered, then every year after that. You can have the MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it's due and keep the same renewal date.

The top three, answered up front. Everything else drivers ask the Kestrel Lane Garage team is just below.
02MOT
What happens if my car fails?
We'll show you exactly what failed, with photos, and give you a fixed quote. If we do the repair and retest within 10 working days, the retest is free. Cars with dangerous defects shouldn't be driven away.
03Servicing
Will servicing with you affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. Under block exemption rules you can have your car serviced anywhere, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality. We do both and stamp your book or update the digital record.
