Do I need a recent MOT to sell my car?

Updated 7 July 2026

If your car is over 3 years old, yes, you'll need a valid MOT certificate. The good news is your car doesn't need to have just passed its MOT - as long as it's still valid (not expired), that's fine. If your MOT has expired, you'll need to get it MOT'd before we can buy it. You can check your MOT history and status on the Government website if you're not sure.
