Do electric cars need an MOT?

What is the difference between an EV MOT and standard MOT?
“Many of the checks during an EV MOT are the same as those on a standard MOT. These include the brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, steering, seatbelts, and windscreen wipers. EVs are exempt from emissions tests and engine-related checks like oil levels and spark plugs. At the time of writing, high-voltage batteries are not part of the MOT inspection.”

“An EV (Electric Vehicle) service is a type of car servicing designed specifically for battery-powered vehicles.

Regular EV servicing helps maintain safety, performance, and battery health, making it an essential part of an electric car’s maintenance schedule.”
