The multicultural and diverse Cathedral City of Gloucester is located close to the beath-taking Cotswolds and the Scenic Forest-of-Dean, with parts of all three situated within the County of Gloucestershire.  Many of the tight-knit community of older, local residents own at least one vehicle with some couples and families owning two, three or more cars, motorbikes and vans.  Wanting to adhere to the strict Road Safety Standards enforced by the Ministry of Transport, they ensure all their transportation is covered by an MOT Gloucester carried out by an experienced, professional, local, vehicle specialist such as www.123carandcommercial.com/mot-gloucester.  By preventing unsafe vehicles from being driven on public roads and ensuring they meet the minimum road safety and environmental standards, an MOT is a mandatory annual check for vehicles over three years old in the UK.  All key components of a vehicle such as brakes, lights, steering, suspension, and tires are checked to ensure they are all in good working order, and every vehicle must also meet the stringent emissions standards set.  Without a valid MOT certificate it is illegal to drive a vehicle on public roads and doing so could result in monetary fines of up to £1,000 or incurring penalty points on your driving license.  Without a valid MOT certificate you may not be able to renew your vehicle tax and your car insurance may be invalidated, so it’s essential you have a MOT Gloucester performed every year.
