Know what to expect
An MOT test checks roadworthiness.
A service looks after maintenance.
An MOT checks whether the parts inspected meet the required road safety and environmental standards at the time of the test. It is different from a service and does not assess the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox.
If you are arranging an MOT test in Stourbridge and also need routine maintenance, ask us about vehicle servicing. If something already feels wrong, tell us when you get in touch so we can discuss the appropriate next step.

Useful before you book
Your MOT questions, answered.
When is my car’s MOT due?
Most cars in Great Britain need their first MOT by the third anniversary of registration, then a test each year. Some vehicles have different requirements. Check your current expiry date using the GOV.UK MOT history service.
Can I have the test before the expiry date?
In most cases, you can have the test up to one month minus a day before the current MOT expires and keep the same renewal date. Tell us your expiry date when you contact us. See the official MOT timing guidance for the rules and exceptions.
Is an MOT the same as a service?
No. The MOT is an inspection against the required standards; servicing covers routine maintenance. A vehicle can need maintenance even after passing its MOT. Ask about servicing your vehicle when arranging your visit.
How much does an MOT cost, and when can I book?
Call 01384 894772 for the current test price and available appointments, or send an enquiry. The team will confirm the details with you before your visit.
What happens if my vehicle fails?
The recorded result identifies the issues that caused the failure. Speak to us about the work needed and whether a retest is required. We can discuss relevant vehicle repairs; repair and retest arrangements depend on the circumstances.
