What is the duration of a standard MOT?

6 months
1 year
2 years
3 years

The correct answer is: 1 year

A standard MOT (Ministry of Transport test) lasts for 1 year. This annual test is crucial as it ensures that vehicles meet the necessary safety and environmental standards. After a car passes its MOT, it is valid for a whole year from the date of the test. Most vehicles over three years old are legally required to undergo this test annually to ensure they remain roadworthy and comply with regulations. The durations of 6 months, 2 years, and 3 years mentioned in the other choices do not align with the established regulations regarding the MOT frequency. Therefore, it is essential for vehicle owners to remember that they must renew their MOT every year to avoid penalties and ensure their vehicle is safe to drive.
