    • Do electric cars need an MOT?

      “Yes, electric cars need to go through the MOT test in the UK once they are three years old, just like petrol and diesel vehicles. After the first MOT at three years, an EV must be tested annually to ensure it remains safe and roadworthy.”

    • 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.”
