Class 4 MOT (cars & light vans)
Up to £54.85
£54.85 is the DVSA-set maximum fee for a Class 4 MOT — no test centre can legally charge more. Our exact fee is confirmed at booking.
Top reasons cars fail their MOT
Per DVSA's own published test-failure data — checked as standard in every service.
Lighting & signalling
The single most common reason cars fail their MOT nationally — bulbs, alignment and lens condition. A quick pre-check catches most of these before test day.
Tyres
Tread depth, damage and pressure are checked closely. Worn or damaged tyres are one of the most frequent fail points — and one of the easiest to catch early.
Brakes
Brake performance and condition make up another major share of MOT failures nationally. A brake check as part of a service can flag issues before test day.
Failed? We can often fix it same day
Repair the failed items with us within 10 working days and a partial retest of just those items often applies, at a reduced fee — ask us to confirm the exact terms. For common fixes like bulbs, wipers or brake pads, we can frequently repair and retest the same day, subject to parts.
Common questions
Can I get an MOT here?+
MOT testing is available, arranged through our approved partner test centre, while our own MOT bay awaits final DVSA approval (opening September 2026). We handle the arrangement — you just book with us as normal.
How much does an MOT cost?+
The DVSA sets a maximum fee of £54.85 for a Class 4 MOT (cars and light vans) — no test centre can charge more than this by law. We'll confirm our exact fee when you book.
What happens if my car fails?+
You'll get a full list of the reasons for failure. If you have the repairs carried out with us and return within 10 working days for a partial retest of just the failed items, a reduced retest fee often applies — we'll confirm the exact terms when you book. A full retest is required after 10 working days or if the car is returned in a different condition.
Can you fix MOT failures the same day?+
For common failure points — bulbs, wiper blades, brake pads — we can often carry out the repair and retest the same day, subject to parts availability. Ask when you book.
What are the most common reasons cars fail an MOT?+
Nationally, lighting and signalling, tyres, and brakes are consistently among the top reasons vehicles fail their MOT, per DVSA's own published test data. We check all three as part of any service, so issues are often caught before test day.
