MOT
Along with regular vehicle maintenance, a car MOT is one of the most important aspects of owning a car. Driving a car without an MOT is against the law and can result in hefty fines and points on your licence. As common as the term ‘car MOT’ may be, not everyone knows what it means.
The term MOT stands for the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Transport oversees the English transport network, focusing on transport emissions, the future of transport, security and civil matters relating to all modes of transportation. A car MOT test, however, is issued by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).
WHAT DOES A CAR MOT INCLUDE?
During a car MOT, A DVSA-approved examiner will conduct a visual inspection and a comprehensive series of checks around the vehicle. They look at the interior, exterior, under the bonnet and even underneath the vehicle with the purpose of effectively assessing every working part of your vehicle. Some of the parts or components checked during a car MOT include:
- seatbelts
- brakes
- steering systems
- exhausts and emissions
- doors
- mirrors
- car tyres (condition, pressure, tread depth)
- shock absorbers
- suspension system
- condition of wheels and wheel bearings
- registration plate
- fuel tank cap
An average MOT test takes between 45 and 60 minutes, but there are a couple of other things to take into consideration.
First, if your vehicle fails the test and repairs are needed this will take longer.A test centre isn’t allowed to let you drive away a car that has failed an MOT until the problems are fixed, unless your existing MOT certificate is still valid, or you’re taking the car to have the faults fixed.
Second, the test might take an hour or less, but, even if there aren’t any repairs, this doesn’t mean your vehicle will only have to be at the garage for 60 minutes.Test centres can require you to drop your vehicle off first thing in the morning and collect it when ready.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
This place is great! My experience was nothing but pleasant. They not just did the typical "telling you" what needs repairs, but took me out to the garage and actually showed me the issue with my car. Then found an alternative repair to fix the issue that was more affordable and in my budget. The mechanic was knowledgeable and fixed up my car and the problem was completely gone! They even dropped me off at work while my car was being repaired so I didn't have to walk. I HIGHLY recommend this place!
I have had work done on my car here several times. The staff has always been friendly, they have given me good options, and the price is reasonable. I would recommend them.
I have taken my car into these guys multiple times for various reasons. They always run the diagnostic and tell me whats wrong, I have never felt like they are trying to sell me something my car doesn't need.
Amazing customer service, quick response time, charged significantly less than what other companies estimated, and best of all I didn’t have to leave work early! Will never use any other company! They were awesome.
