Class 4 MOT testing for cars and small vans up to 3,000kg. Honest pass-or-fail, plain-English advisories, free re-test within 10 working days — and we’ll never invent a fault to sell you the fix.
Both done in one visit. One drop-off, one pick-up.
Cars, small vans & campers up to 3,000kg. The full DVSA test schedule, run in our approved bay.
If your car fails and we re-test within 10 working days — whether or not we did the repair.
Photos and a written explanation of anything we flag. No invented faults, no scare tactics.
Most fails are cheap fixes you can spot the day before. Walk round the car, kick the tyres, flick every light. The rest is on us.
Blown bulb, hazy headlight lens, or a wonky number-plate light.
Worn drop links, split bushes, leaking shock absorbers.
Imbalance side-to-side, low pad material, sticky calipers.
Below 1.6mm tread, sidewall damage, mismatched pairs.
An MOT takes us 45–60 minutes. You’re welcome to watch from the waiting area. Here’s the full schedule.
Corrosion, sharp edges, security of doors, bonnet, boot.
Headlights, indicators, brake lights, hazards, registration plate lights.
Play, balls joints, bushes, shocks, springs, power steering.
Roller-tested for efficiency, balance and parking brake.
Tread depth, sidewall condition, wheel security, spare (if fitted).
Operation, mounting, condition. SRS warning lights.
Petrol gas analysis or diesel smoke test against the manufacturer’s spec.
Wipers, washers, mirrors, windscreen damage in zone A.
Up to one calendar month before the expiry date and keep your renewal date. Any earlier and the new MOT runs from the test date instead.
No. You can take it elsewhere. Bring it back within 10 working days for a free partial re-test on the failed items only.
A fail means the car can’t legally be driven (except to a pre-booked repair or another MOT). An advisory is a heads-up — something to keep an eye on, but legal today. We always explain which is which.
Yes — combine an MOT with an interim or full service in the same visit. One drop-off, one pick-up, and we’ll quote both up front.
Yes. While-you-wait MOTs take 45–60 minutes. We’ve got coffee, free Wi-Fi and there are three good cafes within a two-minute walk on Ballards Lane.
