What you need to know about MOTs and the best MOT centres in Shrewsbury.

We all know our cars have to be properly licensed. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) is the body responsible for monitoring MOT test centres and the MOT testers themselves. The 'ten year test' was launched in 1960 and then became the more regular test we all know in 1967. Before the 60s then, I guess cars could drive in all kinds of states!

If you're looking for a great MOT test centre in Shrewsbury, yes, it is still your responsibility as the vehicle's owner. Cars (and vans) have to be tested every 12 months and without a valid MOT certificate, you can't renew your road tax or insurance.
