Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Most reviewers praise Galicia Motors for friendly, helpful and professional staff, quick turnaround and clear communication, with many long-term customers calling the garage honest, reliable and highly recommended. A minority reported pricing problems — notably one instance where a BookMyGarage quote wasn’t honoured and a few cases of unrequested or unexpected charges — which dented trust for those customers. Overall, the positive experiences far outweigh the complaints, but pricing transparency appears to be the main recurring weakness.

Why Do MOT Tests Include an Exhaust Emissions Test?

The MOT test includes an exhaust emissions test to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is operating efficiently and producing minimal air pollution. It is part of an international effort to reduce the effects of harmful carbon emissions on the planet.

If your vehicle fails the exhaust emissions test or doesn’t have enough fuel to sit this test, the tester must record an automatic MOT failure.

When is it Legal to Drive Without an MOT Certificate?

It is only legal to drive without a valid MOT certificate if you are on your way to a pre-booked MOT test or to have the failed defects fixed. If you are stopped by the police, you must be able to prove that you have a booked appointment and confirm it with the test centre or garage.

If you are caught on a public road without a valid MOT certificate, and you can’t meet the above criteria, you can be fined up to £1,000. There is a further £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy. You will also receive 3 points on your driving licence if it is deemed to be dangerous.

Driving without an MOT certificate also invalidates your car insurance. This brings an unlimited fine, potential disqualification from driving and 6-8 points on your licence.
