What does a Volkswagen MOT test include?
Last updated on the 19th January 2026
At Mon Motors, our Volkswagen approved technicians can carry out standard MOT tests — this will check various aspects of the vehicle, including the brakes, tyres, headlights, windscreen wipers and seatbelts.
At the end of the MOT test, a vehicle will either receive a pass or a fail. If the vehicle passes, it’s safe to drive away — be aware that the MOT test might highlight ‘minor’ or ‘advisory’ problems, which will need to be monitored and potentially fixed in the future.
If a vehicle fails an MOT test, the report will state the ‘major’ or ‘dangerous’ faults that led to this verdict. Very often, these will be simple repairs that can be carried out at our VW dealerships. Not only are repairs carried out by Volkswagen-approved technicians, but we also use genuine VW parts and offer a two-year warranty on these. What’s more, there are 0% finance options available if you’d like to spread the costs.
