My Honda Jazz is 11 yrs old and its driving like it was new. I used Holocene for the first time a while back for a bashed up bumper and they were brilliantly priced and the work was impeccable as was the valet clean.

Your MOT is due three years after the date in which you registered the vehicle. You don’t need an MOT in the first three years of the car being on the road. Thereafter an MOT test is due annually.
Your MOT is a test to ensure your vehicle meets the standards set out by the DVSA. It will check window wipers, driver visibility (windscreen and mirrors), horn, seat belts, seats, exhaust, fuel system & emissions, bodywork, including doors, brakes, wheels & tyres, vehicle identification number (VIN), registration plate, lights, signalling equipment, steering and suspension.
Your MOT will expire 12 months after your last MOT. If your MOT expires, your insurance will no longer be valid.
If your vehicle fails its MOT, then you will be informed what repairs need to happen to make sure it passes and can be back on the road safely. We offer a free retest if you vehicle fails its MOT.

Just had my C1 MOT'd at Holocene and could not be happier with the service. They were very friendly, accommodating and quick to book me in, I had the car back within a day and it was even cleaned! Top notch garage, fairly priced. Highly recommended.
Fantastic! They are such friendly and professional people. Very clean and tidy office. Kept me up to date with my repair and provided amazing communication. Very reasonable price for what was needed. Will not hesitate to come back in future.
