Pre-MOT check

If your car is older, has high mileage or failed last year, a pre-MOT check lets you find the weak spots first. Book it a week or two before your test date so there is time to sort anything we find.

Why book with us

Pre-MOT check with clear advice.

A lot of MOT fails come down to simple things — a blown bulb, a worn wiper blade, a tyre near the limit. A pre-MOT check catches those, plus the bigger items like brakes and suspension joints, before the official test is recorded.

We carry out DVSA Class 4 MOTs in our own workshop, so we know what testers look for. After the check you get a list of anything likely to fail or be advised, with a quote, and you choose what to fix before your MOT.

Common fail items first

Lights, tyres, wipers, brakes and warning lights checked before the test.

Time to plan repairs

Fix things on your schedule rather than after a fail.

MOT tested here too

Book your Class 4 MOT with us once you are happy the car is ready.

Pre-MOT check

Common questions

Is a pre-MOT check an official test?
No. Nothing is recorded with the DVSA. It is a check for your benefit so you can deal with problems before the real MOT goes on record.
Can I have the MOT straight after?
Yes. We are a DVSA Class 4 test centre, and the MOT is £40. Call us and we can book the check and the test at times that work for you.
Does a pre-MOT check guarantee a pass?
No check can promise a pass, because some items are only fully assessed during the MOT itself. It does remove most of the easy fails and gives you a clear picture beforehand.
