Does a car need an MOT if it’s being stored?

No it doesn’t. Like the SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) a valid MOT is only applicable if you want to drive the car on the road.

However you won’t be able to tax a vehicle without insurance and a valid MOT.

Some people prefer to maintain the MOT for paper consistency and continued health check.

Information on MOT’s can be found here www.gov.uk/topic/mot/get-check-mot.

My first question was "will you store any car?" As I have rather shabby but very loved 2CV which has huge sentimental value. CarSafe give it the same attention as they would a car worth vastly more than mine, but I still wouldn’t swap it!

Mrs K: Citroen Dolly

The time that the CarSafe team took to understand the “quirks” of the car was unexpected but very welcome.

Mr S: Silver Shadow

CarSafe look after 5 of my cars which I take out on a fairly regular basis. The cars are always ready when I arrive and the process is swift and courteous. An excellent service, thank you.

Mr K

We visited 3 storage companies before we went to CarSafe I must say they but Neil operate on a totally different level. The facility is wonderful, if a little tricky to find.

Mr & Mrs D: VW split screen

I was wary of car storage having previously had a bad experience. I Voiced my concerns to the CarSafe team and they answered all my questions confidently. Suffice to say my Porsche is now at CarSafe and very well looked after.

Mr M: Porsche 911

CarSafe arranged collection on behalf of my son who works away. They sent him a video of the car arriving. It makes him miss it even more but at least he can see it.
