Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with most customers giving five stars for quick turnarounds, good value and professional, helpful staff. Frequent strengths mentioned include clear communication (regular photo/video updates), convenient pick‑up/drop‑off, a clean waiting area and perceived honesty/trustworthiness. A minority of reviewers, however, report serious issues — incorrect diagnoses, unresolved post-service faults and at least one occasion where an MOT couldn’t be carried out — indicating occasional lapses in quality control.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is an MOT Test?

An MOT test, or Ministry of Transport Test, is an essential annual vehicle check to assess roadworthiness and safety standards. It ensures all vehicles on UK roads are maintained to a certain standard, improving road safety standards in the process.

What Do I Do if My MOT is Overdue?

If your MOT is overdue, you must book a test immediately. It is illegal to drive on public roads in and around Barking without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.

How Long Does an MOT Take?

An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.

If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.

Can I Drive After a Failed MOT?

You can only drive your car after a failed MOT if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

You must not drive your car after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.

What Do I Need to Take to An MOT Test?

You do not need to take anything except your car to an MOT test. The tester will use the DVSA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

You may wish to provide a locking wheel nut in case any repairs are needed to the wheels or tyres.

Why Do MOT Tests Include an Exhaust Emissions Test?

The MOT test includes an exhaust emissions test to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is operating efficiently and producing minimal air pollution. It is part of an international effort to reduce the effects of harmful carbon emissions on the planet.

If your vehicle fails the exhaust emissions test or doesn’t have enough fuel to sit this test, the tester must record an automatic MOT failure.
