Why electric vehicle servicing is necessary – and why an MOT is not enough


Audi Specialist Repairs offer a fully qualified, industry standard repair and maintenance facility, giving customers reassurance about keeping their electric or hybrid vehicle in the best possible condition.

We can carry out routine servicing, as per manufacturers specific service intervals, for Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda and Audi brand makes and models, without affecting your vehicle’s warranty. But with a pure electric vehicle not having an engine, surely an MOT test would suffice? No.

Here are the differences between a service and an MOT.

Electric Vehicle Servicing


A service is vehicle specific – some cars will need more checks than others and will therefore require more time. Our qualified EV technicians will be aware of any common faults to look out for or prevent from occurring. A service is designed to keep a car safe and reliable until the next service.

A service contains lots of checks that are not checked on an MOT, for example:

Checking the auxiliary battery so that you’re not stranded on a cold night.

Checking the brake fluid moisture content because with electronic braking systems you won’t feel a problem through the pedal.

Diagnostic equipment is used to check everything is working as it should, and that there is no corrosion or dirt on the charging connectors, which could lead to a build-up of heat damaging the connectors.
