MOT Testing
Brand new for 2016 we introduced our state of the art class 4 and 7 MOT bay. Simply book in with our friendly reception staff for your “Trouble Free MOT!”
In Great Britain MOT testing centres are regulated and licensed by the Department and Transport and DVSA for the purpose, and the individual testers carrying out the inspections also have to be trained and certified.
The decision to pass or fail each presented vehicle comes down to the discretion of the tester following the guidelines issued by the DVSA.
The MOT test covers the following aspects:
✓ Lighting and signalling equipment
✓ Steering (including suspension)
✓ Brakes
✓ Tyres and wheels
✓ Seat belts
✓ Body, structure and general items.
Includes body and components such as spoilers, bumpers and mirror housings.
✓ Exhaust, fuel and emissions
✓ Driver’s view of the road

Rules and regulations for the United Kingdom
The actual designation for the pass certificate is VT20, and failure is the VT30, with any advisories being the VT32. The “MOT” Test will provide an emissions report if applicable.It is illegal to drive a non-exempt vehicle that requires a test on public roads without a current MOT except when driving to or from (subject to insurance terms and conditions) a booked MOT Test or to have remedial work done to rectify failures in a previous test. Possession of an up-to-date VT20 test certificate is a pre-requisite for obtaining a tax disc, and advertisements for used cars frequently say how many months are left to run on the current MOT (i.e., VT20 certificate; although the VT20 points out that it does not, in any way, guarantee road-worthiness at the time of sale). A vehicle could suffer major damage after an MOT has been carried out, but the certificate would still be valid, and obtaining a new one is not required by law (some insurance companies may require a new test, but this is their practice, not law). However, driving a vehicle which is in a dangerous condition on a public road is always illegal, irrespective of its test status.
