MOT inspections

We offer impartial, while-you-wait MOT inspections by our professional mechanics


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.
