We have a pleasant seating area with viewing bays so you can watch your vehicle being MOT'd.

Taking this approach will give you time to have the vehicle repaired should it be necessary. It's not recommended to leave your MOT until it has almost reached expiry as it is illegal to drive your vehicle without a valid MOT. National guarantee from Bosch

MOT repairs after a failed MOT
Should your car fail the MOT test we can repair it on site, usually at the same time subject to parts availability, thus avoiding the need for you to return for a re-test. See below for the type of MOT you require. We offer a re-test of your vehicle free of charge within 10 working days should you wish to repair it elsewhere. Check your vehicle's MOT history and status online
To check your vehicle's MOT history and status online you will need the vehicle's registration number. You will also need the MOT test number from the latest MOT pass (VT20) or refusal (VT30) certificate. If you don't have the latest MOT certificate you can use the vehicle reference number which is located on the registration certificate (V5C). Visit: https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status MOT Q&A
My MOT ran out yesterday, I have a test booked, can I still drive my car? NO! The only time you can drive without an MOT is when you are traveliing to or from a pre-booked MOT test. But don't worry, we normally have some MOT slots free so drop us a line and get one booked ASAP! Help, I've lost my MOT Certificate! Don't panic, we can reprint it for you! If you had your MOT done at another garage you will need to bring your vehcile's registration document (V5C). |
MOT Certificates, Advisory Notes and Failure Sheets
The way that the MOT test works in England, Scotland and Wales changes on 20 May 2018.
Issues found during the MOT are either:
All issues are listed either on the pass certificate (if the vehicle has passed the test but with some advisory items to note) or on the failure sheet (if the vehicle has failed the test and there are also some advisory items).
If an item has been recorded as an advisory item it does not have to be rectified in order to pass the mot. However, it is good practice to consult your garage’s advice regarding a future repair. Sometimes, it is sufficient to just get it checked in a few months but in other cases replacing a small part before it leads to a bigger, more expensive repair may be prudent.
There are also stricter rules on diesel emissions, changes to what we test and some improvements to the clarity of the MOT certificate, and changes for classic cars. You can read more about the changes here.
