MOTEST are here to help with the introduction of our new Classic Car Safety Inspection. Due to the introduction of the rolling 40 year vehicle MOT test and road tax exemption, a lot of classic cars no longer need their yearly MOT inspection. As huge classic car enthusiasts ourselves, we want to make sure these older cars are safe to drive and to enjoy for the road ahead.
The cars may be MOT test exempt, but they’re not road worthy exempt. In the UK, the responsibility for the roadworthiness of a classic car falls entirely on the owner, so it is important to make sure your vehicle is meeting the legal requirements for road use. This is one of the main reasons we feel our Classic Car inspection is so useful. We can let you know if your car is in good road worthy condition or may need some attention. This is a completely independent test and is not affiliated with the DVSA or DVLA.
This inspection is for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts and is not just limited to vehicles over 40 years old either. This is very useful tool for evaluating a classic car, especially if you are buying or selling a vehicle, or setting an agreed value with an insurance company.
The inspection is currently available at all of our branches and completed by a skilled MOT tester.
45-Point Inspection including:
- Full under body
- Corrosion assessment
- Brakes and Tyres
- Period correct inspection items
- Carried out by skilled technicians
- Comprehensive inspection report

Our inspectors guide to the inspection, and the key areas we cover
Why is this
important
for classic car owners?
1. Safety critical items on even the better cars, but with little use, will deteriorate over time.
2. Many classics have not had an MOT inspection for years, given the rolling 40 years exemption introduced in 2018 and vehicles pre 1960 were already exempt.
3. Such an inspection can be useful when negotiating vehicle value based on condition with classic car insurers.
4. You can use this service if you are looking to purchase a classic car to find out exactly what you are buying and reveal any hidden issues.
5. Use it on a non-MOT exempt classic to identify issues, enabling repairs to be made to help gain an MOT pass with no advisories
