Where would you have an MOT?

[aardvark5]

Would you go to a dedicated EV garage like the one I bought the car from or can any garage do an EV MOT?

Thanks

Any approved MOT test station can do the MOT test on an EV, they don't need any special skills or training to do an EV MOT test.

I guess they need a little bit of training so they don't attempt an emission test

And not to "rev" the engine whist its up on the ramps.

Mots generally all cost the same so if the garage is close that you get work done at then why not just use that

You asked if it needed to be a dedicated EV garage, I just said it all costs the same so get it done close to you if you are happy with your MG dealership.

Being an MG dealerahip doesn't mean it's a dedicated EV garage.

I'll just take it to the garage I used for my ICE cars since 1975.
I thought a dedicated EV MOT might do different things, I haven't seen them for three years.

If it's your first MOT, make sure you have it done inside the 36 month point to get the best protection from warranty.

An MOT test on any vehicle is basically checking that the car is safe, so they're checking things like brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, seat belts, lights, windscreen washers, etc, which are the same on all cars, ICE or EV.
