Why book them together
These are two different jobs that suit one visit. The MOT is a legal annual test of roadworthiness on the day, with a fee capped by the DVSA at £54.85. A service is preventative maintenance that changes oil, filters and worn parts, and it is not a legal requirement at all.
Many garages discount the MOT substantially when it is bundled with a full service, and some advertise it free. It also means one trip and one day without the car rather than two. Because the MOT fee is capped whichever way you book, any bundle discount comes off the service, which our guide on whether an MOT and service is cheaper together explains in full.
What to expect on the day
Most garages run the service first and the MOT after, so anything obvious found during the service can be put right before the test rather than becoming a failure. Allow most of a day for both.
If the car fails on something the service did not cover, the garage will quote separately, and you are free to take it elsewhere for the repair provided the current MOT has not expired and the car is safe to drive. Unsure which the car is due? Check any car's MOT expiry free on our MOT check page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an MOT and service cost together?
The MOT is capped at £54.85 and the service depends on your car, commonly £170 to £300 for a full service. Booked together most garages discount the MOT, so the combined price is usually below the two separately.
Do I actually save money booking both together?
Usually yes. The garage has the car on the ramp once, so most discount the MOT when it is bundled with a full service, and some include it at no extra cost.
How long does an MOT and service take?
Allow most of a day. An MOT alone is commonly 45 to 60 minutes as a trade norm, and a full service takes considerably longer, so garages usually ask to keep the car.
Which is done first, the MOT or the service?
Most garages service the car first, so anything obvious can be corrected before the test rather than becoming a recorded failure.
What happens if the car fails the MOT?
The garage quotes for the repair separately. You can have the work done there or take the car elsewhere, as long as the current MOT has not expired and the car is not dangerous to drive.
