Here is a list of checks included in our MOT Test

Lights

Our experienced MOT testers will check the overall conditions of all your car lights, including headlights, indicators, brake lights, fog lights and their self-levelling and cleaning capabilities.

Brakes

Next is to inspect the brake discs, pads, callipers and the other components of your vehicle’s braking system so ensuring the car qualifies under this very important part of the test. Brakes can be a common advisory or fail given on Mot tests but can be a quick and fairly cheap repair.

Tyres

As per the UK laws, your car tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. During an MOT test our MOT experts will check if the tyre tread depth are within the standards. To complete they will check for cuts, bulges and signs of damage of the tyres. It is common for an MOT failure for tyres or listed as an advisory but can often be a quick and easy repair.

Steering & Suspension

During an MOT test our mechanics will run a thorough check of the steering wheel and column. We will also check the suspension system and its components, including shock absorbers and struts.

Windscreen & Wipers

Our MOT testers will inspect your car's windscreen for any chips and cracks. Even a small windscreen chip within a driver's line of vision could cause a windscreen to fail an MOT test.

We also ensure that the windscreen wipers and washer bottle are in top working condition and can provide you with a clear view of the road ahead.

Exhaust & Emissions

Excessive and visible smoke from your vehicle can also lead to an MOT failure. Our technicians will check if the emissions are within the legal limit. This check also covers if the exhaust system and fuel filler cap are working optimally.

MOT Testing Changed in May 2018

When you visit an MOT garage you will find that the MOT test process has slightly changed.

If you had a previous MOT Test before MAY 2018 you will remember the previous system failed or advised on what repairs were required if any. It now reports the faults using a classification system of listing under minor, major and dangerous. Any faults under your MOT test that are listed as major or dangerous will result in an MOT fail.

What documents do I need to bring with me?

You only need to bring your vehicle with you, your car details can be checked online.

Remember you can book your MOT test up to a month before your current MOT certificate expires without losing your renewal date, so you can get 13 months on your MOT instead of 12 months.

If your vehicle is an MOT failure

If your car or vehicle does not pass its MOT it will need to be repaired and then retested.

Driving in a car or vehicle that has an MOT failure is not recommended and may also mean you are not covered by your insurance policy (please check for details).

For your convenience our fully trained mechanics will quote for the repairs. Once done within 10 days we can retest your car or vehicle for free to get it its MOT certificate.
