You can book your MOT up to one month before the expiry date, keeping the renewal date the same.

A major service is the most comprehensive level of maintenance and is typically due every two years or 24,000 miles. It includes all the checks from a full service, plus added component replacements like spark plugs, fuel filters and air filters depending on your model. It’s ideal for higher-mileage vehicles or SEATs used for frequent commuting or longer trips.

A full service is recommended annually or every 12,000 miles. It includes oil and filter replacement, brake and tyre inspection, fluid top-ups, and a thorough check of your vehicle’s mechanical systems. This helps extend the life of your car and reduces the risk of breakdowns or unexpected issues.
Book Full ServiceInterim Seat Service
An interim service provides essential upkeep between full services. It includes an oil and filter change, fluid checks, and a visual inspection of brakes, tyres and key safety systems. This is a great option for drivers who use their vehicle frequently or cover high mileage throughout the year.
