Ministry Of Transport test (a UK government department now defunct) but the name for the test has remained. It involves the yearly inspections for most vehicles 3.5 Tonne and under, over 3 years of age in the UK to ensure that a car is safe to be on the road and driven. there are various names and standards for this essential car test in most countries.
In Great Britain and Northern Ireland it is a serious offence to drive a car on a public road without a proper valid MOT certificate. The issuance of certificates has changed in the last few years and the certificate that is issued now is a simple piece of A4 paper with the test result printed on it. These tests are recorded on computer, so law enforcement and other agencies know if a car has a valid MOT or not by just entering the cars details (registration number) on the police computers or checking with the Vehicle Operator Standards Agency.
In the Great Britain and Northern Ireland if you fail to have a valid MOT then this also invalidates any motor vehicle insurance that you have in relation to a car, this is also an offence under UK law. The law has tightened in recent history, where the police now have the power to not only stop a car from being driven any further on a public road once they have stopped it but they can in more serious cases, impound the vehicle and arrange for it's destruction, usually having the car crushed. The tests overseen by VOSA Vehicle Operator Standards Agency.
