Handle two vehicle dates more easily
Around £240 quoted
The combined service and MOT option has an indicative price of around £240.
Off-site test arranged
We complete the service and coordinate the MOT with a separate test station.
Failures explained
We review recorded defects before agreeing any mechanical repair work.
Coordinate maintenance and annual testing
Combining a service with the annual MOT makes two important jobs easier to organise. We complete the scheduled vehicle maintenance and arrange the MOT at an off-site test station, as we don't operate an on-site MOT lane. The combined option is quoted at around £240, subject to the agreed vehicle and service scope. Before booking, we use the registration, mileage and maintenance history to identify the service level and explain how the separate test will be handled.
Understand the difference between both checks
A service looks after planned maintenance and can reveal wear, low fluids or parts approaching replacement. The MOT is a statutory pass-or-fail roadworthiness test and doesn't replace servicing. If the test records a failure, we'll explain the defect and inspect the mechanical work required before seeking your agreement. Once suitable repairs are completed, the vehicle can move to the retest stage. This gives you one organised route while keeping the purpose of each process clear.
Frequently asked questions
Is the MOT carried out at our workshop?
No. We service the vehicle at our workshop and arrange the MOT off site. The authorised test station completes the formal roadworthiness assessment and records the result.
Does a service improve the chance of an MOT pass?
Servicing can identify maintenance needs, but it isn't a substitute for the statutory test and cannot promise a pass. The MOT applies its own inspection standards on the day.
What happens if the vehicle fails its MOT?
We'll review the failure record, inspect the relevant mechanical defects and explain the repair scope. Agreed work can then be completed before the vehicle moves to a retest.
