Gladstone Tyres & Autocare carries out class 4, 5, & 7 MOT tests in York.

What is an MOT Test?

An MOT test is a mandatory annual inspection required for vehicles over three years old to ensure they meet minimum safety and environmental standards. The test examines key components of your vehicle, from brakes and lights to emissions and tyres. At Gladstone Tyres & Autocare, we’re an approved MOT testing centre, certified to conduct these inspections with precision and care. We also perform Class 4, 5, and 7 MOTs, including testing for motorhomes, so you can rely on us for vehicles of all sizes.

The MOT Testing Process

When you bring your vehicle to us for an MOT test, here’s what you can expect:

Initial checks
We start by verifying your vehicle’s registration and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to ensure compliance with records.

Inspection of key components
Our skilled technicians thoroughly examine critical areas of your car, including:

Lights, wipers, and horn
Ensuring visibility and safety.

Brakes and suspension
Checking for wear, effectiveness, and stability.

Exhaust system and emissions
Confirming compliance with environmental standards.

Tyres and wheels
Verifying tread depth, condition, and alignment.

Bodywork and structure
Assessing for any damage that could affect safety.

Report issued
After the inspection, we provide a detailed report. If your car passes, you’ll receive an MOT certificate valid for the next 12 months. If it fails, we’ll give you a clear breakdown of the issues and discuss next steps.

MOT Repairs

If your car needs repairs to pass the MOT, we’ve got you covered. At Gladstone Tyres & Autocare, our team of experienced mechanics can handle all necessary fixes, whether it’s a simple bulb replacement or more extensive work like brake repairs. We’ll provide an upfront quote, ensure repairs are done promptly, and retest your vehicle so you can get back on the road with confidence.

Why Book Your MOT and Service Together?

Booking your MOT test at the same time as your car service is a smart move. Combining these appointments saves you time and effort, as our mechanics can address potential issues during the service before they result in an MOT failure. This proactive approach helps keep your car in top condition while potentially saving you money on future repairs.
