An MOT test is required every year for vehicles over 3 years old. The test is designed to ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive and meets the minimum standards for road safety and emissions.
This test involves a series of checks on your vehicle. These include checks on the brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, and emissions. The test takes around 45 minutes to complete. After which, you will be given a certificate to say whether your vehicle has passed or failed.
If your vehicle fails its test, we can carry out any necessary repairs to get you a passing grade. We offer competitively priced tests, carried out professionally and safely.
It’s important to note that the MOT does not typically include a full inspection of the clutch, gearbox and engine. To ensure these are working safely, you should also schedule a car service or diagnostics.
