Our MOT test is a flat fee of £50, which includes a detailed written report. If you book a Full Service at the same time, we offer discounted combined pricing depending on the work required.
An MOT is an annual legal inspection required for most UK vehicles older than 3 years. It ensures your car meets DVSA roadworthiness and environmental standards.
You can take your test up to one month (minus a day) before your current certificate expires. This allows you to keep the same renewal date for the following year, effectively giving you a 13-month certificate.
The test itself takes around 45 minutes to an hour. We recommend dropping your car with us in the morning and we will give you a call once it is done, usually by end of day. That way you are not sitting around waiting and we are not rushing the job.
If your car fails on a major or dangerous fault, you cannot legally drive it away. We give you a clear written breakdown of every fault and the cost to fix each one with no pressure and no surprises. If you decide to have the repairs done with us, we include a free re-test. If not, the report is yours to take wherever you like.
There are four categories: Dangerous (immediate fail, car cannot be driven until repaired), Major (also a fail, but if your previous certificate is still valid you can drive directly to a repair centre), Minor (car passes but the fault needs attention soon), and Advisory (car passes, items to monitor that are not serious yet but could become so).
Driving without a valid MOT can lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and may void your insurance. The only exception is if you are driving to a pre-booked MOT appointment.
