The Men’s Health MOT is a comprehensive blood test specifically designed to address key health concerns affecting men at every life stage. This targeted screening evaluates testosterone levels, prostate health, cardiovascular risk, diabetes screening, liver and kidney function, and essential vitamins and minerals critical for male vitality and longevity. Men are statistically less likely to seek preventive healthcare, yet face higher risks of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia), prostate inflammation (prostatitis), or prostate cancer—the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men.
Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment measuring total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios.
Glycated hemoglobin measures average blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months, screening for diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Assesses kidney filtration through creatinine, eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), urea, and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride).
Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and cell indices.
Venous blood sample drawn
1-2 working days for most parameters; full results typically available

A private men’s health blood test that checks several areas of your health from one venous blood sample, including PSA, cholesterol, HbA1c, liver and kidney function, a Full Blood Count, thyroid function and vitamin D.
Think of it as a general health check for men, done with a blood test. Instead of booking separate tests for your prostate marker, cholesterol, blood sugar, liver, kidneys, blood count, thyroid and vitamin D, our Men’s Health MOT brings them together in one panel from one venous blood sample.
Many men book a men’s health blood test when they feel well and simply want a clearer picture of their health, or want a baseline they can compare against in future. You don’t need a GP referral to book this private men’s health check, and you can choose the Visit Type that suits you.
This male blood test is grouped into eight areas of health.
Including PSA is one of the main reasons men choose this men’s health blood test. It’s worth understanding what a PSA result can and cannot show before you book.
There is no national prostate cancer screening programme in the UK. A PSA test on its own is not a screening test for prostate cancer.
PSA can be raised for reasons other than cancer, such as an enlarged prostate or a prostate infection. A raised result does not mean you have prostate cancer.
A PSA result within the expected range does not rule out every prostate problem. If you have symptoms or concerns, speak to your GP whatever your result.
If your PSA result is outside the expected range, discuss it with your GP, who can consider it alongside your age, symptoms, family history and any other tests.
People searching for a men’s health check often come across the NHS Health Check too. They are different services, and one doesn’t replace the other.
