Coming Soon: New D&G Autocare Garages in Motherwell and Galashiels
Electric vehicles require an MOT in the same way as petrol and diesel cars, with the same DVSA testing standards applying.
At D&G Autocare, our technicians are trained to work safely around EV systems and high-voltage components while carrying out your vehicle’s MOT.
Check your vehicle’s details and book a MOT
There is no separate DVSA MOT test specifically for electric vehicles. EVs are tested against the same applicable MOT standards as petrol and diesel vehicles.
The key difference is that electric vehicles contain high-voltage electrical systems and components that technicians need to work around safely.
An EV MOT covers the same applicable safety checks as a standard MOT, including tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights and other key components.
Additional EV considerations can include:
There is no separate DVSA MOT test for electric vehicles, but technicians still need to understand how to inspect and work safely around EV-specific components.
No separate MOT fee applies simply because a vehicle is electric.
The current maximum DVSA fee for a Class 4 car MOT is £54.85, the same maximum fee that applies to equivalent petrol and diesel cars.
Yes. Our technicians are appropriately trained to work around electric vehicle systems and use the equipment and safety procedures required when working with high-voltage vehicles.
Whether you need an MOT, routine servicing or replacement tyres, we can help keep your EV or hybrid performing at its best.
