Our MOT checklist
Our experts strictly adhere to DVSA-approved guidelines conducting MOT in Stoke on Trent and inspecting the following components of your vehicles:
Exhaust system
Your car exhaust and emissions levels are crucial to determining whether it meets environmental standards. Therefore, we test various exhaust system components, such as catalytic converter, resonator assemblies, etc.
Tyres and wheels
We also conduct checks on the tyres and wheels of your car to ascertain that these are in proper working condition.
Suspension system
The suspension system is essential for your on-road driving safety. We inspect all suspension system components to ensure they are functioning optimally.
In addition to these, our MOT Test Stoke on Trent will include the following checks:
- Seatbelts
- Windscreen
- Braking system
- Internal and external lights
- Body structure
Once the checks are complete, our team will determine whether your car has passed the test and issue an MOT certificate accordingly. If it passes the test, we will provide the VT20 certificate. This certificate will validate the roadworthiness of your car for one year. However, if it fails the test, we issue a VT30 certificate. Our professionals will clearly explain the reasons and suggest a future course of action. You can opt for post-MOT repairs from our facility, after which we will conduct a partial re-test at a reduced charge. However, you need to take the re-test within 10 working days of the actual MOT date.
Types of issues
In case of MOT failure, the VT30 certificate enlists all the issues found in your vehicle. These issues are of the following types:
Dangerous
Issues that fall under the dangerous category will lead to MOT failure. These issues can massively impact your vehicle’s engine performance and compromise driving safety and comfort.
