Frequently Asked Questions about EV MOTs
1. Do electric cars need an MOT?
Yes, EVs require an MOT from the third anniversary of their registration date, just like petrol or diesel vehicles. However, EV MOTs focus on aspects like battery condition, electrical components, brakes, tires, suspension, and lighting.
2. Are EVs cheaper to MOT?
No. The cost of the MOT test is the same for both electric and traditional petrol or diesel cars. This is due to the fact that the MOT is a test of vehicle safety, which is required for all vehicles over three years old in the UK.
3. What are the most common reasons for EV MOT failure?
– non-working lights
– indicators
– reflectors
– faulty or broken suspension
– problems with brakes and tyres
– bad visibility (like cracks on windscreens)
You can carry out checks on your car before taking it in. Make sure your EV is charged when you drop it off.
