MOT
Most vehicles over three years old need an MOT every 12 months to ensure they meet road safety and environmental standards.

No, unless you are driving to a pre-booked MOT appointment. Otherwise, you could face a fine and penalty points on your licence.
Servicing
It depends on your vehicle and mileage, but generally, it’s recommended to service your car every 12 months or every 10,000-12,000 miles for a full service, and every 6 months for an interim service.
A full service includes oil and filter changes, brake checks, tyre inspections, fluid top-ups, and checks on key components like the battery, lights, and suspension.
