You can check online if your certificate is soon to expire, and book in MOT testing at Banstead Road Garage up to 30 days before it does. If you get in early, the period you would have been certified for will roll over – giving you a maximum of 13 months of coverage; so don’t worry about lining it up perfectly!
MOT Preparation
How do we go about MOT preparation for our clients? Firstly, our engineers will take the time to discuss any concerns you might have, before carrying out a unique inspection which scrutinises areas of the vehicle or elements that commonly cause MOT failures. This includes low tire tread, damaged lights and mirrors, driver’s view of the road, etc. This gives Banstead or Carshalton motorists the best possible chance of a smooth, first time success.
What’s Involved in an MOT?
MOT testing usually takes about an hour to complete, and involves the systematic inspection of a checklist of components as set by the DVSA. In addition to checking things like wheels, lights, brakes, vehicle registration and your windscreen, we’ll ensure your vehicle’s emissions are not above the legal maximum. Failing an MOT is common, and nothing to worry about. We’ll provide advice on how to amend whatever the problem is, which in many cases could be an on the spot repair. We’ll then provide free re-testing, following the repair work.
