MOT Test Centre

Straightforward, honest MOT testing

What we test

Our DVSA-approved testers carry out a thorough Class 4 & Class 7 MOT covering all the required areas: lights and indicators, brakes (including the handbrake), steering and suspension, tyres and wheels, exhaust system and emissions, bodywork and structural integrity, windscreen and wipers, seatbelts, mirrors and horn.

Diesel vehicles also undergo a stricter emissions test. We test all makes and models — from everyday runabouts to performance cars.

Our approach

We offer while-you-wait appointments so you can have your MOT done in under an hour. If your vehicle fails, we explain exactly what needs attention — clearly and without pressure. You're never pushed into unnecessary work.

If you have the repairs done here, the retest is free within 10 working days. We also offer pre-MOT checks so you know what to expect before the test.

When Is It Due?

When does my car need an MOT?

The rules

Your car needs its first MOT when it's 3 years old, then every 12 months after that. Driving without a valid MOT is illegal (except to drive directly to a pre-booked test) and your insurance may also be void.

You can check your MOT expiry date on gov.uk.

Book early — keep your date

You can test up to one calendar month before your current MOT expires without losing your renewal date. For example, if your MOT expires on 15 June, you can test from 16 May and your new certificate still runs to 15 June the following year.

This means there's no reason to leave it to the last minute. Book ahead and avoid the stress.
