September is MoT month for many motorists

Published: 27 August 2010

Next month is the most common for vehicles needing an MoT, new figures from Kwik-Fit show.

The company revealed that 1.4 million drivers are at risk of missing the deadline, making them vulnerable to a fine up to £1,000.

Ian Fraser, chief executive of Kwik-Fit, recommended: "If drivers don't know when their MoT is due, we would advise them to check their certificate now to be sure."

He added that statistically, a car's MoT is most likely to be due in September, so it is worth checking now before appointments at local garages are snapped up.

Earlier this month, Kwik-Fit emphasised the need for motorists to carry out pre-journey checks on their vehicles before heading out on caravan holidays.

It offered this advice after it emerged that the average holidaymaker covers 400 miles on their journey.
