What Drivers Are Saying About Our Barking MOT Centres

Would need a better explanation about what they have done in the car.

MIC Auto Services Ltd

“I brought my car for full service. However in the bill only could see the oil and filters changed. The air con doesn't work but they didn't realise that, so not sure what they checked. The car was dirty inside.”

Great service

MIC Auto Services Ltd

“Great service”

Would recommend

Very disorganised place

MIC Auto Services Ltd

“Booked my full service with MIG. I had to go there 3 times to finally get my service book stamped. I don't even know if they done all checks as I still did not get my service report, although I requested it multiple times. Very poor communication as I said that I am interested in additional services, but no one bothered to call me with info what will be the price for them, they just done them and charged it at the end.”

FAQs

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
