MOT test
At our DVSA-approved garage, we offer MOT testing services for Class 4, Class 7, and HGV vehicles. The Class 4 MOT testing primarily covers passenger cars and smaller vans. Here, our IRTEC-qualified technicians inspect the vehicle components carefully according to DVSA guidelines. These include:
- Tyres and wheels
- Seat belts and seats
- Horns
- Brakes and suspensions
- Exhaust, emissions, and fuel
- Bodywork
- Windscreen washers and wipers
- VIN number, etc.
On the other hand, Class 7 MOT covers commercial vehicles, including semi-trailer trucks and trailers. However, in HGV MOT testing, vehicles weighing over 3,500 kg, such as HGVs and PSV minibuses, are tested under this standard. Our DVSA-certified technicians inspect the following elements here:
- Exhaust smoke meter test.
- A brake roller test is used to inspect brake elements' effort, function, ovality, and binding.
- An external inspection includes a tyre age check, VIN, fuel cap, horn, seats, seatbelts, lights, and windscreen.
- A shake plate inspection of every steered axle is performed to inspect wheel bearings and steering components.
- An underbody check to inspect the brake elements, loading valves, exhaust, popshaft, fluid leaks, and air leaks.
