| In Cyprus vehicles over 4 years old are subject to Department Of Transport (DORT) test - analogous to the UK MOT. The MOT test is a 'basic' check on the car's mechanical equipment, including brakes, lights and steering etc. These are checked to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy. If your vehicle is properly registered and the Department of Transport has your current address, you will receive a form from them informing you that the test is due. You go along to your local Co Op branch with the form and the fee, currently 25 Cyprus pounds , and get a receipt. Then take the form and receipt to a local garage authorised to carry out the test. There are a number of them in the local area and they usually advertise the fact. If the vehicle passes, a form is issued. Send this to the Department of Transport. A disc similar to the tax disc is sent to you. It should be displayed on the front windscreen next to your tax disc. If you don't receive a notification that the test is due, you should go directly to the Co Op and go through the same procedure. Non receipt of the reminder will not let you off the hook should it come to a prosecution. The DORT is currently valid for two years. Most of the MOT testing stations will carry out a pre-DORT check at a nominal price and let you know what work has to be done in order to pass. |
