All Motor Depot MOT & Service Centres are approved by VOSA (Vehicle Operator Services Agency) and all MOT tests are completed by MOT testers nominated by VOSA. We are authorised to complete CLASS 4 and CLASS 7 (Hessle Branch) MOT tests. You can have an MOT test completed up to one month before the expiry of your current MOT.
Why not have your car serviced at the same time as your MOT and take advantage of some of our offers. With fully trained technicians, the latest computerised diagnostic equipment, guaranteed parts and labour - why pay more elsewhere?
Class 4:
Cars, motor-caravans, goods vehicles up to and including 3,000 kg gross weight, Minibuses (with no more than 12 passenger seats).
Class 7:(Hessle Branch only)
Goods vehicles (between 3,000 kg and up to including 3,500 kg in gross weight).
All test stations are required to display a "VT9A Fees and Appeals" poster on their premises which must be available to the public. It gives information on all test types and information on what to do if a vehicle fails its MOT test.
MOT is an abbreviation of the Ministry Of Transport but has been continued to apply to the inspection itself. The actual designation for the pass certificate is VT20 and failure is the VT30 with any advisories being the VT32, every "MOT" Test will provide an emissions report.
It is illegal to drive a non-exempt vehicle that requires a test on public roads without a current MOT, except when driving to or from (subject to your insurance terms and conditions) a pre-booked MOT Test. Possession of an up-to-date VT20 test certificate is a pre-requisite for obtaining a tax disc, and advertisements for used cars frequently say how many months are left to run on the current VT20 certificate (although the VT20 points out that it does not, in any way, guarantee road-worthiness at the time of sale). A vehicle could suffer major damage after an MOT has been carried out but the certificate would still be valid and obtaining a new one is not required under the test regulations (some insurance companies may ask for a new test but this is purely their own policy, not national law). However, driving a car which is in a dangerous condition on a public road is always illegal, irrespective of its test status.
