MOT Testing

What happens at your MOT?

  1. 1

    The MOT is the yearly legal check that your car is safe and roadworthy. Every car needs one once it’s three years old.

  2. 2

    Your car is checked against the official list, from lights and brakes to tyres and emissions.

  3. 3

    If anything fails, we explain exactly why and give you a price to fix it. We’re honest about what’s essential and what can wait.

Anything else? Call 0161 834 5035.

How early can I get my MOT?

Up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out, and you keep the same renewal date.

What if my car fails?

We explain what failed and why, then give you a price to fix it. No pressure, no jargon.

Can I drive with an expired MOT?

Only to a pre-booked MOT test, or to a pre-arranged repair. Otherwise it isn’t legal.

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. We look at the car first, then call you with a clear price. Nothing extra gets done without your OK.
