  1. 1

    Booking Your MOT

  2. 2

    Pre-Check (Optional)

    Not sure your car will pass? Ask for a pre-MOT health check to catch potential issues like tyre wear, brake condition, or dashboard warnings.

    MOT Test (60 Mins)

    Our DVSA-trained tester will inspect your car following Class 4 and 7 standards, checking key components for safety and legal compliance.

    We’ll tell you immediately if your car passed. If it failed, we explain the reason and what’s needed to fix it.

  5. 5

    Repairs (If Needed)

    Failed due to rust or brakes? We carry out repairs the same day in most cases — including MOT welding and emissions work.

  6. 6
