An MOT and car service are not the same thing, even though it's a common misconception.
What an MOT checks
An MOT checks whether specified areas of your vehicle meet minimum legal roadworthiness and environmental standards, at a single point in time.
What a service checks
A service is concerned with maintaining the vehicle and its mechanical condition, going beyond the minimum legal requirements the MOT covers.
Why the distinction matters
Your car can therefore pass an MOT and still be overdue for servicing, since the two checks have different purposes.
DB Autos provides both MOT testing and car servicing. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
