Services / Pre-MOT Inspection
PRE-MOT INSPECTION
An MOT fail costs you a retest, a second trip and sometimes a car off the road. Our pre-MOT inspection goes through the items the tester checks: tyres, brakes, lights, steering, suspension, exhaust, wipers, horn, mirrors and more. It tells you what would fail, what would be an advisory, and what is fine.
You get a written checklist. Anything that needs doing, we quote for on the spot and can usually do the same day, so you go into the test knowing what to expect.
- Tyres, tread depth & pressures
- Brakes, pads & discs
- Lights, bulbs & indicators
- Steering, suspension & bushes
- Exhaust, emissions & fluid leaks
- Wipers, washers, horn, mirrors & glass
