An MOT test is a legal requirement for most vehicles over three years old. It checks that your car meets the minimum road safety and environmental standards set by the DVSA. Driving without a valid MOT can result in fines, points on your licence and difficulties with your insurance.

Our mechanics carry out a thorough inspection, explain any issues found and give you honest guidance before any repair work is recommended. Whether your car passes first time or needs attention on a specific point, we make sure you understand exactly what has been checked and what, if anything, needs to happen next.

FAQs: Anything About Car AC Repair

What is an MOT test?

An MOT test is an annual inspection required by law for most vehicles over three years old in the UK. It checks that your car meets the minimum safety and environmental standards set by the government. The test covers areas including brakes, tyres, lights, steering, exhaust emissions and vehicle structure.

When do I need to book an MOT test?

You should book your MOT before your current certificate expires. MOT tests can be booked up to one month in advance without losing your existing expiry date. If your MOT has already expired, your vehicle should not be driven on public roads except to a pre-booked MOT appointment.

How long does an MOT test take?

A standard MOT test usually takes around 45 minutes to one hour. If minor repairs are needed and we can carry them out on the same visit, the overall time may be longer. We will let you know the expected timing when you arrive.

Do I need to make an appointment for an MOT?

Yes, we recommend booking your MOT in advance so we can set aside the right time and equipment for your vehicle. We accept bookings by phone and WhatsApp. Urgent requests are welcome where availability allows.

How much does an MOT test cost?

The government sets a maximum fee for MOT tests. We charge fairly and will confirm the exact cost when you book. There are no hidden charges, and we will always explain any additional costs before repair work begins.

What happens if my car fails its MOT?

If your car fails, we will explain clearly what the issue is and what repair is needed. You can choose to have the repair carried out by us, after which we can arrange a free partial retest on the same or next working day where eligible. We will never carry out repair work without your approval first.
