EV & Hybrid Car MOTs

At Gem UK Garage Ferring Ltd, we conduct MOT tests for both hybrid and fully electric vehicles in Worthing. If your electric vehicle is three years or older, it must have an MOT certificate to demonstrate that the vehicle is safe, roadworthy and operating efficiently.

“Without a valid MOT certificate, your hybrid / electric vehicle insurance will be void”

Other than an emissions test, all hybrid and electric cars are subjected to the same rigorous inspection as traditional combustion-engine vehicles.

At Gem UK Garage Ferring Ltd in Worthing, we carry out a wide range of checks whilst performing an electric vehicle MOT. These include testing the lights, brakes, steering, wheel alignment and vehicle suspension, in addition to bodywork, windows, mirrors, seatbelts, wipers, tyre pressure and more.

Other areas of importance when conducting a hybrid or electric car MOT include checking the electrical motors and the battery of the vehicle, as well as the charging port(s) and the integrity of the high voltage cabling.

Some models of electric car are known to experience increased strain from the added weight of the car battery and the four electric motors, which is why the team at Gem UK Garage Ferring Ltd thoroughly tests the suspension, wheel alignment, steering and tyre health of every electric vehicle during the MOT.
