Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers praising friendly, professional staff, clear communication and speedy turnarounds — many used the collect-and-deliver option and appreciated video fault reports. Reviewers also highlight good value for money, thorough checks and helpful extras such as valeting and warranty work that inspire confidence in ongoing maintenance. A minority noted problems with bookings, unclear information about what a “full” service includes (notably the Hybrid Health Check) and occasional mild upselling, which caused unnecessary stress for some.

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 Rochdale without a valid MOT certificate.

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

How Much is an MOT?

An MOT can cost as much as £54.85, but many test centres set their prices lower to encourage more customers to choose them. While you can pay less than £54.85 for a class 4 test, you will never pay more as it is a fixed upper limit as set by the UK Government.

Class 4 covers all cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the UK.

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.

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 My Car Without an MOT if it is Booked In?

You can only drive your car without an MOT if you are on your way to a pre-booked MOT test. If you are driving for any other purpose, even if your car is booked in for a test, you can be prosecuted if caught by the police.

What Happens If My Vehicle Fails the MOT Test in Rochdale?

If your vehicle doesn’t pass its MOT in Rochdale, the test centre will provide a detailed breakdown of what faults were found and what you need to do to fix them. In most cases, the garage will be able to carry out these repairs themselves and complete an MOT retest to ensure you have a valid MOT certificate. This is usually done within 1 day, and the retest is free for most common faults.

You will have to pay an additional fee for the repairs, which the garage will quote you for before beginning the process.

If you wish to complete the repairs yourself or take your vehicle to a different garage for the repairs, you must return to the original garage within 1 day for a free retest or 10 days for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the initial MOT price.

If you take your vehicle to a different test centre after completing the repairs, or return more than 10 days after the initial test, you will need to pay the full MOT fee again.

You may only take your vehicle away from the original MOT centre if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

Is It Possible to Get a Same-Day MOT Appointment in Rochdale?

You may be able to book a same day MOT in Rochdale, 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 Rochdale to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.

How Can I Check My Vehicle’s MOT History in Rochdale?

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.

Can I Sit and Wait at the Rochdale Garage While My MOT Test is Being Done?

While most garages 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 Rochdale. 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 garages 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.

How Far in Advance Do I Need to Book an MOT Appointment in Rochdale?

We recommend booking your MOT appointment in Rochdale at least 1-2 weeks in advance, increasing to 2-4 weeks during periods of high MOT demand such as March, September and October. This gives you the best chance of getting the slot you need and getting a stress-free MOT.

If you want to get the perfect MOT slot next year, you can book up to 12 months in advance through BookMyGarage. We will also send you booking reminder emails a couple of weeks before your appointment to ensure you don’t forget.

Can I Book a Service and an MOT Test at the Same Time?

Yes, many garages in Rochdale allow you to book MOT testing and servicing together as it’s often more convenient for drivers to book the two at the same time.

If you’re looking for a joint MOT and service deal near you, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and select ‘MOT’ and the car service you want. This will show you the combined price at garages in your area, allowing you to choose the best deal and book in just a few steps.
