When is a new car first required to have an MOT test?

Explanation: If a vehicle is over three years old (four in Northern Ireland) it must pass an MOT test and have a valid MOT certificate. Vehicles made before 1960 do not need to pass an MOT test, but they are only allowed on the road if they're considered roadworthy. All vehicles on the road must be roadworthy and in good condition.
