Reviews Summary

AI Generated

The majority of customers praise the garage for friendly, helpful staff, fast turnarounds and good value—frequent highlights are speedy MOTs, honest pricing and prompt emergency help. A minority report issues with the online booking system, double‑bookings or rude service on arrival, and a few were turned away or had appointments moved (notably MOTs on Saturdays). With most reviews at five stars the garage is viewed as dependable and fairly priced, though tightening up booking processes and front‑of‑house consistency would address its main weakness.

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.

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.

Where Can I Find a Reputable MOT Test Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon?

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 Stratford-upon-Avon 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.

Is it Possible to Get a Same Day MOT Test in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Yes, it is possible to get a same day MOT in Stratford-upon-Avon if your chosen garage has the availability to do so. It may also be easier to get a same day appointment when the demand is lower.

If you do book an appointment for the same day, we recommend contacting the garage directly to ensure they have the capacity to take the booking. While garages update their availability regularly, confirming the booking with the garage will save you additional stress.

Enter your reg and postcode to see which garages in your area have availability for an MOT test on the same day.

Do You Provide Reminders for Upcoming MOT Tests in Stratford-upon-Avon?

If you want to sign up for an MOT reminder service in Stratford-upon-Avon, enter your email address into the box above. We provide an MOT reminder 4 weeks, 2 weeks and then 1 week before your expiry date to ensure you book your appointment in plenty of time. We may also provide personalised offers and deals in these emails.

If you have booked an appointment through BookMyGarage.com in the past, we will automatically send you generic MOT reminders as part of our Duty of Care to all UK drivers. This is to reduce the risk of you forgetting your MOT and being caught driving without one, which is illegal.

Can I Renew My MOT Early in Stratford-upon-Avon?

You can renew your MOT at any time, although most drivers do it less than a month, minus a day, before the expiry date.

You only need to book an MOT every 12 months by law, so you don’t need to book it any earlier unless you want to change the MOT expiry date for future years to a different time of year.

If you are planning on selling your vehicle and want to advertise it with an MOT certificate that’s valid for 12 months, you can book a test at any time to ensure this.

What Are the Penalties for Driving Without a Valid MOT in Stratford-upon-Avon?

The penalties for driving in Stratford-upon-Avon without having a valid MOT are as follows:
• Up to a £1,000 fine for driving without an MOT.
• 6-8 points on your driver’s licence and an unlimited fine for driving without car insurance (as your insurance is invalid without an MOT certificate). You may also face a disqualification from driving.
• An additional £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy.
• 3 points on your driver’s licence if your vehicle is deemed to be dangerous.

While the police may only issue you with a £100 on the spot fine instead of any of these more serious penalties, it’s not worth taking the risk. You must have a valid MOT at all times so, if you’re worried your vehicle no longer has one, enter your reg into our FREE MOT checker by following the link above.

Once you know when your MOT is due, you can book an appointment in 3 steps if it is approaching.

Can I Drive My Car to the MOT Test Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon if My MOT Has Expired?

Yes, but only if you have pre-booked an appointment with the test centre. You must not drive your car on the roads around Stratford-upon-Avon for any other reason as it's illegal to do so.

You must also be able to prove that the test centre is expecting you for an appointment if you're stopped by the police.

Do You Offer Pre-MOT Checks in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Yes, many of our garages in Stratford-upon-Avon offer pre-MOT checks to provide additional peace of mind before your test. During this check, 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 check can help increase your chances of passing first time, it’s a worthwhile service. If you want to book one alongside your MOT in Stratford-upon-Avon, 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 Stratford-upon-Avon, and What Are the Standards?

Yes, every modern vehicle must pass an exhaust emissions test as part of their MOT inspection in Stratford-upon-Avon. 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 Stratford-upon-Avon’s roads.
