Why not help yourself!

People can get quite nervous about presenting their vehicle for the MOT.

We understand the concern, however a well maintained car will have a far better chance of passing than a car that just scrapes through with the minimum amount of maintenance.

A good idea is to ensure that all of the lights wipers washers are functioning properly.

Ensure your tyres have at least 1.6 mm of tread depth across 75% the width of the tyre, no cuts or bulges, pressures set correctly.

Make sure the car is clean and all the seats are in the upright position and seat belts easily accessible.

And dont forget you can book your car in up to a month prior to the expiry of your current MOT, with the new certificate automatically updating!
