A straightforward £50 MOT
An MOT is the annual check that your car is safe to be on the road and meets environmental standards. We carry out MOT tests at our garage in Littleover for £50, on all makes and models of car.
Book in, drop the car off, and we'll call you when it's done. If it passes, you're away. If it doesn't, we'll show you exactly what failed and give you a clear price to put it right before we touch anything.
What the MOT looks at
- Lights, indicators and reflectors
- Steering and suspension
- Brakes, including performance and condition
- Tyres and wheels, including tread depth
- Seat belts and seats
- Exhaust, emissions and fuel system
- Body structure, including excessive corrosion
- Windscreen, wipers, washers and mirrors
- Horn, registration plates and VIN
The MOT does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox. That's what a service is for, which is why many customers book the two together.
When is my MOT due?
In England, cars need their first MOT by the third anniversary of registration, then every year after that. You can have the test up to a month (minus a day) before your current certificate runs out and still keep the same renewal date, so there's no penalty for booking early.
Driving without a valid MOT can lead to a fine of up to £1,000, and it can affect your insurance. If you're unsure of your date, give us your reg in the form below and we'll check for you.
Failed somewhere else?
Bring it to us. We regularly repair MOT failures, from brakes and suspension to exhausts and welding on corroded sills and floors. See MOT failure repairs.
