MOT FAQ

How soon can you get me in?
Your MOT can be carried out 30 days prior to expiry, help us to help you and book your vehicle in plenty of time; check you existing MOT certificate for anniversary date – it will help you find your earliest booking date.

How Long does the MOT test take?
The MOT test takes 45 minutes, however please allow up to an hour in case any minor repairs needed. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the test (you can bring your car in any time from opening onwards and leave it for the day if you wish).

What types of vehicle do you MOT?
Class 4 IV; cars, small commercials, mini-vans, motor homes and 4 x 4.

What’s checked in the MOT?
The MOT is designed to check that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental minimum standards. You should be aware that the MOT certificate is not a guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your car – you should have your car serviced regularly to maintain its mechanical condition.

What can I do to help my car pass its MOT?
Many MOT failures could be prevented by drivers carrying out some simple checks before bringing their vehicle in. Common faults include light bulbs, tyre condition and pressure, mirrors, wipers and washers etc.

What happens if my car fails the MOT test?
If your vehicle fails the MOT it must be repaired and retested. You cannot legally drive your car on the road until the repairs have been made and a certificate issued. Some repairs can be carried out the same day, but we will always advise you upfront about any work that needs to be done.

Is there a charge for a retest?
If we are able to repair your car ourselves at the test centre or minor repairs returned within 24 hours there is not retest fee.
