What’s Included in Our MOT Servicing?
Our MOT checks cover essential safety components including brakes, tyres, suspension, and emissions. These inspections ensure your vehicle is both safe and legally compliant. During MOT servicing, we assess:
- Brakes and tyres
- Lights and indicators
- Suspension and steering
- Seatbelts and mirrors
- Windscreen wipers and washers
- Exhaust system and emissions check
If your vehicle fails, we’ll explain why and provide a clear plan for repairs. Once resolved, we’ll perform a free or low-cost MOT retest depending on how quickly the work is completed.
Light Commercial Vehicles Welcome
We test and service all makes and models of private cars, as well as light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. This includes pickups and vans such as the Ford Transit, Toyota Hilux, or Mercedes Sprinter. If you rely on your van for work, you can count on our MOT servicing to help you avoid unnecessary downtime.
What Happens if Your Vehicle Fails its MOT?
The first thing to do is not panic. If a car fails the test, it receives a ‘refusal of an MOT test certificate’ (VT30), and our technicians document the reasons for the failure. We offer MOT servicing facilities in advance to address any problems that may arise during the test. However, if something fails, we can arrange for the necessary repairs to be completed as soon as possible.
Minor Failures
These are usually issues that do not pose an immediate risk but must be repaired as soon as possible. The vehicle can be driven back to us for repair and an MOT retest appointment.
Major Failures
These issues may affect your vehicle’s safety, put other road users at risk, or harm the environment. It cannot be driven until these problems are fixed and it has passed another test.
Dangerous Failures
These are severe issues that pose an immediate risk to road safety or seriously impact the environment. The vehicle must not be driven until it is repaired and retested.
