The MOT test is an annual examination of a vehicle that is at least three years old. The MOT tests the safety of your vehicle and the level of its exhaust emissions. It is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is examined every 12 months. Having a current MOT certificate is also a legal requirement. Without an MOT certificate, you will be unable to renew your road tax and your insurance will be invalid. The test assessment is based on the state of the vehicle on the day of the examination.

Orbit are stockists for the world's greatest tyres, including Avon, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli and Toyo. Tyres are your only point of contact with the road. As such they are your first line of defence and a critical element in the quality of your driving experience. That's why it's vital that you use the right tyres and keep them properly inflated and in good condition. The law says that you must use the right type and size of tyres for the kind of vehicle you drive. It's important to keep an eye on the depth of tread on your tyres. The absolute legal limit for minimum depth of the tread is 1.6 millimetres, across the central three-quarters of the tread, across the tyre's circumference. In reality, it's better to replace before you reach the two-millimetre mark and many vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing at three millimetres. The reasons for this can be painfully obvious - tyres with shallow depths increase your braking distance. At 50 miles an hour, a set of brand new tyres will bring you safely to halt around fifty feet earlier than a set of tyres with minimum legal tread depths.
