Service Description

We provide professional MOT testing and pre-MOT checks to keep your vehicle roadworthy and compliant with UK regulations. Whether your MOT is due soon or you want to avoid any surprises, our expert mechanics are here to help. What is an MOT Test? An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a legal requirement for vehicles over three years old in the UK. It ensures that your car meets road safety and environmental standards. The test covers crucial components such as brakes, lights, emissions, and suspension. Passing your MOT means your vehicle is safe to drive and compliant with the law. What is a Pre-MOT Check? A pre-MOT check is a thorough inspection carried out before your official MOT test. It helps identify potential issues that could lead to a failure, allowing you to fix them in advance. This proactive approach can save you time, money, and hassle. Key Areas We Check 1.
