As a government approved MOT Testing Station with many years experience in this field you can rest assured that your vehicle will receive a 100% impartial MOT Test. Further to this, if your vehicle does not pass its MOT Test first time you will not be charged for a retest. However your second test must be completed within 10 days of the original failure.
Another great reason to have your vehicle tested by us is that our price for an MOT Test is only £35.00.
We have MOT Testing facilities for most cars, light commercials, Motor homes and now quad bikes (and hopefully soon we will be able to offer you a Class 7/Medium – heavy Commercial vehicle testing).
Many people are not aware that we can MOT test your vehicle up to 1 calendar month in advance of your MOT expiry date so you never need to have that last minute “oh I’ve run out of MOT” panic.
This is particularly worth bearing in mind as now with most Police vehicles, Highways Patrol and Highways Agency vehicles being equipped with Number Plate Recognition (NPR) Cameras. You never know when you may get caught out.

An MOT Certificate relates only to the condition of testable items at the time of the test. It should not be regarded as evidence of the condition of the items tested at any other time nor should it be taken as evidence of the general mechanical condition of the vehicle. |
