Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Most reviewers are very positive, commending friendly, professional staff, clear communication (video health checks and regular updates), competitive prices and little extras like a complimentary valet and swift turnarounds. A smaller number cite problems—booking mix‑ups and excessive reminders, occasional incomplete jobs or disputed charges, and rare quality oversights (missed tasks or a flat battery)—so while the garage is widely seen as reliable and good value, some customers advise checking booking confirmations and service invoices.

Do I Need an MOT?

You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2020 must book an MOT in 2023.

If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT but you can choose to book one if you wish.

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.

How Do I Check the MOT History of a Vehicle in Lichfield?

Follow the link above to our FREE MOT Checker and enter your registration to receive your complete MOT history instantly.

We pull information directly from the DVLA database to provide accurate results, and you can check your MOT history as many times and for as many different vehicles as you like.

Where Can I Find a Reputable MOT Test Centre in Lichfield?

If you want to find the most reputable MOT centre in your area, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. We show you all your options in one place, along with verified, unfiltered reviews to help you make the most informed decision. That way, you get the peace of mind you deserve and can find the best deal at the same time.

While you can book an MOT at any registered test centre in Lichfield that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reputable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.

Are There Any MOT Test Centres in Lichfield Open on Weekends?

Some MOT centres in Lichfield may open on weekends, making it easier to book an MOT test if you have a busy schedule or work unfavourable hours.

To see which garages offer MOT testing on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the boxes on the left-hand side marked ‘Saturday MOT’ or ‘Sunday MOT’. This will filter the results to only show the garages that can complete your MOT test on one of these days.

Can I Get a Same-Day MOT Test in Lichfield?

You may be able to book a same day MOT in Lichfield, but this always depends on the test centre’s availability. It may be easier to book a same-day MOT at different times of the year, depending on demand.

While garages on our comparison site set their availability themselves, and are encouraged to update it regularly, we recommend contacting the garage directly if you have booked a same-day MOT in Lichfield to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.

Can I Wait at the Test Centre While My MOT is Being Done in Lichfield?

While most test centres operate an ‘MOT while you wait’ service, often providing a waiting room and refreshments for you during the test, you don’t need to wait at the garage during the appointment. If you have other things to do, you can drop your car off and return much later in the day to pick it up when it’s convenient for you.

Some garages also offer collection and delivery services for busy drivers in Lichfield. A technician will come and collect your car, take it to the test centre for the appointment and drop it back to you after the work is done. Some garages offer this for free during an MOT booking, while others charge a small extra fee.

To see which test centres in your area offer collection and delivery, enter your reg and postcode and tick the box on the left-hand side marked ‘Collect & Deliver’. This will also show you an updated price to reflect whether garages charge for this service or not.

Do You Offer Pre-MOT Checks in Lichfield?

Yes, many of our garages in Lichfield offer pre-MOT inspections to provide additional peace of mind before your test. During this inspection, a professional technician will visually inspect your vehicle to identify any potential failure items so you can fix them before sitting the full MOT test.

As a pre-MOT inspection can help increase your chances of passing first time, it’s a worthwhile service. If you want to book one alongside your MOT in Lichfield, enter your reg and postcode and select both ‘MOT’ and ‘Pre-MOT Check’ from the products list. You can then compare eligible garages in your area and book an appointment with the best one for you.

Are Emissions Tested During the MOT in Lichfield, and What Are the Standards?

Yes, every modern vehicle must pass an exhaust emissions test as part of their MOT inspection in Lichfield. The standards your vehicle must meet to pass the test are as follows:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels must not exceed 0.2% at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 revs per minute to 3,000 revs per minute (RPM))
- Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions must not exceed 200 parts per minute (ppm) at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 RPM to 3,000 RPM)
- Lambda must remain between 0.97 and 1.03 at ‘fast idle’ (2,500 RPM to 3,000 RPM)
- CO levels must not exceed 0.3% at idle (450 RPM to 1,500 RPM)

Petrol vehicles registered before August 1975 and diesel vehicles registered before January 1980 are only subject to a visual emissions test as part of the MOT.

If your vehicle cannot sit the emissions test, or doesn’t meet the required standards, the tester will record a Major failure which must be remedied before your car is deemed roadworthy for Lichfield’s roads.

Can I Drive My Car to the MOT Test Centre in Lichfield if My MOT Has Expired?

You can only drive your car on Lichfield's roads if the MOT has expired if you're on your way to a pre-booked MOT test.

If you're stopped by police, you must be able to prove that the test centre is expecting you for the appointment.
