What happens during an MOT
When your car reaches 3 years old an MOT every 12 months is compulsory. An MOT test exists to make sure your car is safe to drive, which can help prevent accidents and breakdowns. Also the technician may identify small problems while conducting the MOT, allowing you to minimise your ongoing maintenance costs.
At Severn Point Automotive we can arrange MOT tests on all cars, vans and motorcycles that fall into Class 1,2,4 or 7 and our aim is to get your vehicle passed with a new MOT on the same day.
What Happens if Your Car Fails the Test?
In the unfortunate event your vehicle fails the MOT we will call you and quote you for any repairs required. If we cannot get your vehicle repaired on the same day our aim will be to get it completed in a timely manner with the least amount of inconvenience.
Is it cheaper to get a MOT and a service done at the same time?
We recommend booking your MOT and Service together to same time to save cost and the amount of time you are without your vehicle. On completion of all work you will receive an itemised invoice of all works completed to keep your vehicles history up to date.
