An MOT test is a yearly legal check for vehicles over three years old. It ensures your car meets safety and environmental standards. At Gladstone Tyres & Autocare, we are a DVSA-approved testing centre serving Riccall. We carry out Class 4, 5, and 7 MOT tests, including motorhomes.
When you bring your vehicle to us for an MOT test, here’s what you can expect:
We confirm your vehicle registration and identification details before starting.
Our trained technicians carefully inspect:
Lights and indicators
Brakes and suspension
Steering system
Exhaust and emissions
Tyres, wheels, and body condition
After the inspection, you receive a full report. If your vehicle passes, you’ll get a 12-month MOT certificate. If it fails, we clearly explain what repairs are needed.
If your car needs repairs to pass, we can fix the issues quickly and at a fair price. From small adjustments to larger mechanical work, we make sure everything is done properly before retesting.
Booking your MOT with a service helps spot problems early. It saves time and can prevent unexpected repair costs later. Keeping up with regular servicing also improves your vehicle’s performance.
You can check your MOT due date online using your vehicle registration number. If you’re unsure, our team serving Riccall will be happy to help you confirm and book your test.
You can check your MOT due date using your car’s registration number on the official government website or call us, and we’ll look it up for you.
An MOT test typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour. However, if repairs are required, this may extend the time.
If your vehicle fails, you’ll receive a list of issues to address. You can leave your car with us for repairs, and we’ll retest it once the fixes are complete.
If your MOT has expired and your car fails the test, you can only drive it to get repairs or to a pre-arranged MOT appointment.
