What does our MOT check London, Finchley entail?

Firstly, our DVSA approved testers will check the MOT history of your vehicle to identify persisting issues, if any. Next, they will inspect the following components:

Steering wheel column

We check the steering wheel column and ensure the steering arm, angles, etc., are in proper condition to ensure your on-road driving safety. Any issue in the steering column will jeopardise the control over the car and make you vulnerable to several on-road mishaps.

Registration plate

Our experts will check the condition of the car number plates and ensure that the numbers are visible.

Indicators and hazard lights

During the MOT, the testers will also check the headlamps, brake lights, hazard indicators, etc., to ensure they are working optimally.

Braking system

An adequately functioning braking system is necessary to ensure optimal on-road driving safety and car control. Hence, we will check the braking system thoroughly and check for damaged or worn-out discs, brake pads, rotors, etc.

Questions we get asked

How much is an MOT?

An MOT with us is £45. We are DVSA approved and test in our own MOT bay on site, so the car does not need to go elsewhere. If a service is due at the same time, the MOT is free with a Full Service when you quote the code freeMOT, and a Full Service starts from £225 + VAT.

Which MOT classes do you cover?

We are approved for Class 4 and Class 7. Class 4 covers cars, most small vans and similar vehicles, and Class 7 covers heavier goods vans, which is why we can look after company vans and mixed fleets as well as family cars. If you are unsure which applies to your vehicle, tell us the registration and we will confirm it.

How long does an MOT take?

Allow around an hour for the test itself, though the time your car is with us depends on how busy the bay is and whether other work is being done at the same visit. If you are having a service as well, plan on the car being with us for the day. We are open seven days a week, so it is usually easy to find a day that suits.

What happens if my car fails?

We tell you exactly what failed, show you the reason and give you a price to put it right before anything is done. Nothing gets repaired without your say-so. Because the workshop is on the same site, most failures can be corrected here and the car retested without moving it. If you would rather take it elsewhere, that is fine too.
