The UK government insists that every vehicle be roadworthy tested on a  yearly basis.  Once a year, a trip to the local MOT (Ministry of Transport) Testing station is required to test the vehicle.  The same feeling a person gets before a school exam wells up inside you. You hand over the keys, and the next minute the vehicle is being tested - brakes, emissions, shocks and simple things like sealing petrol caps are put through a test.

And, if the vehicle passes, you end up with a valid MOT certificate which allows you to pay your vehicle road tax and your annual insurance.
