Do I need to take my Audi to a main dealer for its MOT?
No. Any approved MOT centre can test your Audi without affecting its warranty. Choosing an Audi specialist means any repairs are handled by people who know your car.
When is my Audi's first MOT due?
Your Audi's first MOT is due three years after it was first registered, then every year after that. You can check your due date for free on the GOV.UK MOT history checker.

Around 45 minutes to an hour. You're welcome to wait with us, just let us know when you book.

It can. Lights such as the engine management, airbag or ABS warning can all cause a fail. If one is on, mention it when you book and we can find the fault first.
