An electric car MOT will cost the same as your regular MOT, call us today on 01291 627 137 for our most up to date pricing.

The same as any other vehicle, an electric car will need an MOT test once every year after it is 3 years old.

Your electric car is logged onto the official MOT test system. Unlike regular vehicles however, electric cars have no transmission fluids, engine oil or emissions and so skip these steps in the MOT process. The following checks are then carried out:

• All lights are tested to ensure optimum visibility.
• safety features such as windscreen wipers, seatbelts and chips in the windscreen are checked.
• The steering system, suspension and tyres are checked for damage.
• A brake test is carried out to determine whether the brake pads need repairing/replacing.
• The electrical systems of the car including its battery health and electric motor will be checked to make sure they are operating safely.

As well as rigorous training, we have invested in a range of specialist equipment to protect our mechanics including:

• Insulated tools
• Insulated ppe gloves
• Masks
• Matting
• Specialist diagnostic equipment

Like other vehicles, we recommend that an electric car is brought in for a full service annually, once it has reached 12,000 miles, or when their is an obvious fault.

We can fix all any problems with the vehicle including repairs to the high voltage system and are fully trained and certified to do so, our training record / certificates are available on request.
