How long does an MOT take in Ilford?

Are the garages on CarOkay in Ilford verified?
+
Yes. Every garage we list is cross-checked against DVSA testing-station records and Companies House before going live. Garages with a "Verified" badge have also claimed their listing and manage their own hours, prices and replies.
Can I drive without an MOT to a test in Ilford?
+
Only to a pre-booked MOT or repair appointment. Otherwise it's illegal — up to a £1,000 fine — and your insurance is automatically void. Book the slot first, drive straight there, and keep the booking confirmation as evidence.
