MOT vehicle testing
We can provide an independent MOT test for cars and light vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.
Information and advice
Our team of experienced MOT testers will carry out an independent check on your vehicle. Unfortunately we are unable to carry out any of the required repairs, should your vehicle fail.
To help you reduce the risk of your vehicle failing then please refer to our easy to spot / fix failures, with a few simple pre MOT checks.
- Screen wash – make sure its topped up!
- Are all the vehicles fluid levels correct? check the engine, cooling, brakes and steering
- Wipers – do they clear the screen effectively? ( usually wiper blades require annual replacement )
- Drivers view – please remove sat nav’s, phone holders, air fresheners or any other obstruction from the windscreen or interior mirror
- Tyres – Has the tread is worn below 1.6mm or are there are obvious bulges or cuts to the tyre structure
- Brakes – have they started to make an unusual noise or squealing?
- Bulbs – check that all your lights are functioning, they all need to be working.
- Warning lights – EML, ABS, TCR, TPS, in general, any malfunction lamp should be rectified prior to test.
- Fluid leaks – are there any obvious leaks from the fuel system, engine, brake or steering, you’ll see these on your driveway when you move your vehicle
- Exhaust – has your exhaust become louder or knocking. Does it emit any smoke?
- Can you open all doors, bonnet and boot?
Please remember the tester will be examining all areas of your vehicle. Please make it easy for them to do so by removing anything that may obstruct their inspection from the boot and passenger areas.
We cannot guarantee a pass, but these simple checks will help prevent some of the failures we see when testing.
