MOT inspections
We offer impartial, while-you-wait MOT inspections by our professional mechanics
IMPORTANT UPDATE - In line with government advice our MOT's will be continuing as an essential service and customers are legally permitted to leave home to get one. We have made a number of changes to keep you safe as follows:
Upon booking your test we will ask whether you have Covid symptoms. PLEASE NOTE: you should not take your vehicle for its MOT if you have returned to the UK in the last 14 days, unless you travelled from a country on the ‘travel corridor’ list or belong to one of the groups who do not have to self-isolate. Further information is available here
Note that, to limit the number of customers on our site at any one time, slot times have been changed. Please be aware that:
- We will ask you to arrive 10 minutes before your appointment and upon arrival to wait in your vehicle. If possible, we would like you to open all your windows to help circulate air in your vehicle.
- A technician will come out to meet you at your appointment time.
- Our viewing areas have currently been suspended by dvsa to maintain social distancing, no communal waiting area is available. You will be asked to leave the site during your test and to return one hour later, a pedestrian walkway has been provided for safe access/egress.
- When your MOT is complete, you will still be able to discuss your test with our technician, please come to the MOT reception (if occupied please wait outside our workshop until it is free).
- All MOT information, including your certificate and any advisory information is available here, therefore to keep contact minimal, we will not automatically print your information. If you would like a printed copy please ask and we will provide one in a wipeable plastic wallet.
- Our testers WILL use sanitising products on your vehicle.
Our vehicle workshop, based in Hedge End, is home to a team of professional mechanics who can provide you with impartial MOT test for cars, light vans, class IV or large panel vans between 3,000kg and 3,500kg (class VII).
Our MOT team do not undertake subsequent repairs meaning you will receive a totally unbiased test.
Should your vehicle fail, you will receive details of the work needed for your vehicle to pass a re-test. We also offer a free re-test if a vehicle is booked in and brought back to us within ten days.
