Currently all vehicles that are 3 years or older fall under the legal requirement to have a valid MOT certificate. This applies to both traditional petrol and diesel vehicles AND Electric Vehicles. And as EVs have been around for several years now, more and more now fall into the “need an MOT” category. The primary role of an MOT Test is to ensure a vehicle’s safety and road-worthiness so this equally applies to Electric Vehicles. Rayner Bosch Service Centre has all the equipment and training to provide Electric Vehicle MOTs in Newbury.
The one benefit of an MOT for and Electric Vehicle is that there is no requirement for a tailpipe emissions test, as their are no emissions. And there are no fluid checks as these are not even used within the braking system. The vehicle does, however, undergo the same comprehensive testing that a petrol or diesel vehicle endures. This include checking all of the following main components:
Electric vehicles have higher MOT failure rates than equivalently aged hybrid and petrol vehicles. (source Motor Trader research).
22% of all Electric Vehicle MOT failures are due to tyres – Electric Vehicles are generally 20-30% heavier than combustion engine vehicles. Couple that with the fact that they deliver instant acceleration and it’s easy to see why EV’s wear through tyres much more quickly.
And with electric vehicles requiring less maintenance, owners probably make fewer visits to workshops, which means fewer safety inspections are being carried out to check for potential defects. So it’s important that regular visual checks take place. Electric Vehicles are still stopped and fined for defects by VOSA or the Police.
Our fully equipped garage means we can provide Electric Vehicle MOTs for all makes and models of Electric Vehicles and hybrids.
DON’T FORGET, you can take your car for its annual MOT test up to 28 days before the expiry date shown on your previous MOT certificate. So, when you pass, your MOT is valid for 13 months as you won’t lose any days for taking the car early. This could be particularly useful with delays causing a huge backlog of MOT appointments.
Should your vehicle fail any element of the MOT test, we can arrange for the necessary repairs to be quoted for and carried out for you. We’ll then re-test your vehicle once all works have been completed.
We can also adjust wheel alignment and supply and fit new tyres. We offer an efficient service at competitive rates.
