The Advanced Health MOT at Medical Express Clinic is a doctor-led assessment for adults who want more than the Essential baseline because lung function, fitness, hormones or follow-up GP care would answer a real question.
The Advanced MOT includes everything in the Essential MOT plus a chest X-ray, spirometry, VO2 Max, a male or female hormone profile, an advanced thyroid panel and vitamins B12 and D, covering 75+ health markers, measurements and investigations.
The Advanced Health MOT costs £999 and takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes on the day.
Advanced MOT results are usually ready within 3 to 5 working days in a secure interactive digital report of over 40 pages, and your doctor reviews every result, measurement and investigation before meeting you in person to go through the report.
The Advanced MOT also includes 4 GP appointments, unlimited in duration, to use across the 12 months from screening, which you can use yourself or share with immediate family.
Advanced MOT appointments run Monday to Friday at 117a Harley Street, London, with the chest X-ray arranged at a partner imaging centre nearby.

Advanced is more than extra tests added to a blood panel. Your GP takes your history, examines you and then reviews how the chest X-ray, lung function, VO2 Max, hormones and laboratory results fit the person in front of them.
That context helps the doctor decide whether a finding needs action, monitoring, repeat testing or no treatment, because a laboratory result is not a diagnosis by itself.
"The right MOT is not automatically the one with the longest list. We look at age, symptoms, family history and what the patient wants answered, then choose the level of investigation that is likely to be useful."

of recent MOTs that included vitamin D testing found a low result. A low result is interpreted by the doctor with the rest of the assessment, not treated as a diagnosis by itself.
Advanced groups the extra work around lungs, fitness, hormones and follow-up care, while keeping the Essential baseline of cardiovascular risk, metabolism, organ function and a doctor examination.
Advanced does not include ultrasound, mammogram, tumour markers or MRI. If those investigations would answer your question more effectively, compare the four tiers on the full body MOT page.
Appointments run Monday-Friday at 117a Harley Street. Allow approximately 60-90 minutes on the day.
Continue regular medicines unless instructed otherwise, arrive hydrated, and fast only if Medical Express Clinic gives you a specific instruction for your selected tests.
Your GP takes your history and examines you. The assessment then moves through vital signs, body composition, ECG, spirometry, VO2 Max and blood collection. The chest X-ray is arranged at a partner imaging centre nearby.
When the laboratory and imaging reports are complete, usually within 3-5 working days, you return for an included review with your doctor.
Your secure interactive digital report brings together your results, measurements and clinical findings in one place. Your GP reviews everything before the included appointment, then goes through the report with you and provides clear recommendations.
Advanced then keeps a named clinical thread after that review: one year of follow-up GP access at the same clinic. The service includes four GP consultations, unlimited in duration, for use during the 12 months from screening. You can use them yourself or share them with immediate family; they are not insurance.
of screenings containing cholesterol markers had at least one high cholesterol-related finding. At the included review appointment, these results were explained, put in context and, where clinically appropriate, a treatment plan was agreed at no additional consultation cost. Prescriptions, medication, repeat tests and further appointments are separate.
This figure comes from Medical Express Clinic MOT results completed between 24/04/2026 and 25/08/2026. It describes what we see here, not UK-wide research. A high cholesterol-related result is not a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Results outside the reference range can be temporary, need no treatment, or be affected by medicines and supplements.
If a finding needs treatment, repeat testing or specialist input, Medical Express Clinic can coordinate the next step through a Harley Street specialist network built over more than 40 years. Ongoing care can stay within the same private GP practice rather than ending with a one-off screening report.
Stay with the Essential MOT if you want a doctor-led baseline without chest imaging, lung function, VO2 Max, hormone profiling or follow-up GP cover. Compare the Elite MOT or Ultimate MOT when ultrasound, specialist input or MRI would answer a specific question.
Chest X-ray, spirometry and hormone bloods add useful information, but they cannot diagnose disease on their own and they cannot rule out cancer. A result outside the reference range needs interpretation, because it is not a diagnosis by itself.
New, severe or worsening symptoms need a symptom-focused GP or urgent assessment rather than routine screening. If Advanced identifies a concern, your doctor can arrange the focused test or referral appropriate to that finding.

Advanced includes everything in Essential, plus chest X-ray, spirometry, VO2 Max, hormone profiling, an advanced thyroid panel, vitamins B12 and D, and one year of follow-up GP access. The assessment covers 75+ health markers, measurements and investigations, with a GP consultation, physical examination, ECG, body composition analysis and an in-person doctor review. Results are usually ready within 3-5 working days.
It suits adults who want more than the Essential baseline because a respiratory, fitness, hormone or follow-up GP question would change the assessment. Choose it by what you need answered, not because the list is longer.
The NHS Health Check is a cardiovascular risk assessment offered to eligible adults aged 40-74. Advanced adds a private GP consultation and examination, ECG, body composition, chest X-ray, spirometry, VO2 Max, hormone profiling and broader laboratory testing. Neither replaces assessment for new or worsening symptoms.
Fast only if Medical Express Clinic gives you a specific instruction for your selected tests, continue regular medicines unless the clinic tells you otherwise, and drink water before attending.
Allow approximately 60-90 minutes for the consultation, examination, ECG, chest X-ray, spirometry, VO2 Max, body composition and blood collection. Appointments are available Monday-Friday.
You receive a secure interactive digital report of over 40 pages. Your doctor reviews every result before meeting you in person to go through the report, answer questions and agree any next step.
Advanced includes one year of follow-up GP access: four GP consultations, unlimited in duration, for use during the 12 months from screening. You can use them yourself or share them with immediate family; they are not insurance.
Your doctor interprets it with your examination, history and the rest of the profile at the included review. The next step may be no action, monitoring, lifestyle advice, treatment, repeat testing or specialist referral. A laboratory result is not a diagnosis by itself.
Choose Essential for a baseline without imaging or hormone profiling. Choose Advanced when chest X-ray, spirometry, VO2 Max, hormones and one year of follow-up GP access would be useful. Elite and Ultimate add gender-specific imaging, specialist input or full-body MRI.
