It is a legal requirement to take your vehicle to the relevant driver and vehicle licensing office for its MOT test after the first five years, then again after another three years and thereafter every two years. There may be a delay of some months before your vehicle is called in for its MOT, depending on the canton.              

When the time comes, our experts are available for you and will get your motorcycle ready for the motor vehicle inspection, because good preparation for the periodic inspection is essential.
