Car and Van MOTsCar and Van MOT Centre

At Bicester Tyre and Exhausts we provide an independent VOSA approved vehicle MOT testing environment for both cars and vans.

If your car is more than 3 years old it is a legal requirement that it passes an MOT test once per year to ensure that it meets at least the minimum road safety and environmental standards.
