Expert insights, latest medical research, and health guides from our clinical team.
Health Screening
A full body MOT can detect both. Every tier measures HbA1c and glucose, and the doctor reads them with your weight, visceral fat, blood pressure, cholesterol and kidney results. The Advanced MOT (£999) adds four GP appointments to follow a result up. The Essential MOT (£495) covers the same diabetes measurements.
Health Screening
There's no fixed rule. Many healthy adults repeat a full body MOT every one to three years, as a common pattern, and sooner if a result needs follow-up or their risk changes. Your doctor sets the interval at your review, based on your age, previous results, family history and lifestyle.
Health Screening
Allow 45 minutes for the Essential Health MOT, 1 to 1.5 hours for Advanced, 2.5 to 3 hours for Elite, and 3 to 4 hours for Ultimate, which includes 60 to 90 minutes of MRI. Your written report and review appointment follow on a later day, once the laboratory and any imaging have been reported.
Health Screening
Essential, Advanced, Elite and Ultimate each answer a different question. Here is how your age, family history and risk point to the Health MOT tier worth paying for.
