Service & MOT

MOTs and vehicle service

The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) regulate the MOT programme, which ensures that all vehicles over three years old meet minimum road safety and environmental standards.

Our company is signed up to the Motor Industry Code of Practice. This partnership has further enhanced our professionalism and the quality of service we are able to offer our customers.

  • All UK cars 3 years old or more require a valid MOT certificate by law.
  • Vehicles may be submitted for an MOT up to 28 days before the test is due.
  • If your vehicle fails, we will notify you of all necessary repairs, together with the cost to correct them. We will never carry out any work to your vehicle before we get your permission.
  • MOT’s take approximately 1 hour to complete.
  • Any minor jobs it may be possible for them to be carried out the same day (at our discretion) so your vehicle will be back quickly on the road for you. But larger jobs may need to be booked in with us.

Frequently asked questions about MOTs

Once your vehicle is three years old, it requires an annual MOT Test. This is a legal requirement to check that it meets road safety and environmental standards.

There are a range of online services available for you to check your MOT date. Gov.uk have created a platform where you can view your vehicles previous MOTs as well as when it is next due. You can discover this platform here – https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

It is illegal to drive a vehicle without an MOT or one which has an expired MOT. You will also get no road tax, your insurance will be invalid and you could be heavily fined. An MOT test is important because it makes sure your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards set out by the DVSA.

The MOT price is dependant on your type of vehicle and the dealership or garage you choose to have your vehicle MOT.

A vehicle MOT test aims to make sure your vehicle meets DVSA legal standards. These MOT checks include the interior and exterior of the vehicle as well as underneath and under the bonnet. An MOT test doesn’t check the vehicles general mechanical condition and doesn’t test the clutch, engine or gearbox. Discover the range of features an MOT test does check below:

My Qashqai’s tyre popped near Flockton and they guided me in, provided me a courtesy car and had the tyre fixed in under 3 hours. Super friendly, great price and very professional. Thank You!!

Could not have been MORE helpful if they tried! Steve was quick to reassure me the car was fixable and the team were understanding when I had to postpone repairs till finances would allow for excess payment to be paid. Will gladly put business there way whenever I can in future.
