Licensing and MOTs

Ensure timely PHV inspections, MOT tests, and 10,000-mile checks to keep your car fully licensed and operational.

As part of your agreement with Moove, all licensing and inspections are included. We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to keep your car fully licensed so that you can focus on getting the most out of it. There are three types of inspection which  need to be completed at regular intervals.

 

It is your responsibility to ensure your Driving Licence and PCO Licence are up to date and renewed in advance of their expiry.

Once a year your car needs to undergo a PHV inspection at a TfL registered testing centre.

  • Moove will book and pay for your test in advance.
  • It is your responsibility to attend the appointment at the given time and location.
  • The cost is covered by Moove and included in your package, however you will be charged for any missed appointments.
  • Our team will be in touch to let you know the time and date of your appointment.

 

If your car does not have a valid PHV licence you will not be able to use it to earn as a PCO driver in London, so make sure you don’t miss them. If you are planning on being on holiday, it is always good to check that it doesn’t coincide with your likely PHV renewal date.

Your car needs to have an MOT test every six months in order for your vehicle’s PHV licence to remain valid.

  • Moove will cover the cost of your MOT test at Kwik Fit. We will send you information when your test is due.
  • It is your responsibility to book and attend your tests when they are due.
  • One of these tests needs to be within two weeks of your annual PHV inspection.
  • Our team will be in touch when you are due to have a MOT test.

We ask drivers to complete a short inspection every 10,000 miles, which means most drivers will complete 3-4 inspections a year.

  • Moove will send you a link which will allow you to carry out a general inspection of your car using your phone.
  • The inspection should take less than 15 minutes and involves taking pictures of your car and answering questions about your vehicle. Many drivers complete it while their vehicle is charging.
  • It is your responsibility to complete the inspection within one week of receiving the link.
  • The cost of this inspection is covered by Moove and included in your package.
