AI Generated

Customers repeatedly praise TMS for friendly, professional staff, fast turnarounds (often at short notice), clear communication, convenient collection/drop-off and good value for money. Reviews commonly mention thorough MOTs and services, helpful diagnostics and that the team “goes the extra mile”; the main recurring drawback is occasional busyness leading to short waits and some car shuffling on collection.

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 Truro without a valid MOT certificate.

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

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 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 Have to Pay For an MOT Retest?

An MOT retest is free if your car fails on one or more of the areas listed below and the repair(s) is completed within 1 working day.

● Access Panels
● Battery
● Bonnet
● Bootlid
● Brake Pedal Antislip
● Break Glass Hammer*
● Doors (including hinges, catches and pillars)
● Door Open Warning Device*
● Dropsides
● Electrical Wiring
● Emergency Exist & Signs*
● Entrance Door Remote Control*
● Entrance/Exit Steps*
● Fuel Filler Cap
● Headlamp Cleaning or Levelling Devices (that don't need a headlight aim check)
● Horn
● Lamps (excluding headlight aim)
● Loading Door
● Main Beal 'Tell-Tale'
● Mirrors
● Rear Reflectors
● Registration Plates

*Class 5 Only
**Excluding Motorcycles & motorcycles with sidecar

If the repair is completed within 10 working days, either by the original garage or elsewhere and then you return to the original garage for a retest, you only need to pay for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the full fee.

If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.

Where Can I Find a Reputable MOT Centre in Truro?

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 Truro 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 Centres Open on Weekends in Truro?

Some MOT centres in Truro 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 Book My MOT Appointment Online in Truro?

Yes, you can book your MOT in Truro online through our quick and easy comparison site.
• Enter your reg and postcode at the top of the page.
• Compare local garages to choose the best MOT deal in your area.
• Select a suitable garage, date and time and confirm your booking.

With BookMyGarage, you can book your MOT online in just a few clicks. There’s no need to wait for local garages to open to phone them up and compare deals manually – you can do it all in one place, 24/7, 365 days a year.

What Documents Do I Need to Bring For an MOT in Truro?

Generally speaking, you do not need to take any documents with you to your MOT test. The tester will use the DVLA database to find your existing MOT details and any other information they may need about your car.

If it is your vehicle’s first MOT test, you may need to take the V5C logbook with you – but again, this information is available online so it may not be needed. You will not need to bring this on subsequent MOT tests.

If you have changed your registration since your last MOT, you may want to take documents with you that prove it is still the same car in case the test centre questions you.

Can I Get an MOT Appointment On Short Notice in Truro?

You may be able to get an MOT appointment in Truro on short notice, but this always depends on the test centre’s availability. It may be easier to book an appointment on short notice 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 an MOT on short notice in Truro to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.

After a Failed MOT, Can I Still Drive My Car in Truro?

You can only drive your car in Truro 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.

Are There Any Garages That Provide Mobile MOT Services in Truro?

While a mobile mechanic cannot complete an MOT on your driveway or at your place of work, some will sort the whole process out for you. They will come and collect your car, complete the test and any repairs your vehicle may need and then return the vehicle to you at a time and place that suits you. This provides added convenience if you have a busy life.

To see whether there are any mobile mechanics which organise MOT testing in Truro, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site at the top of the page and tick the box on the left-hand side to filter by ‘mobile garages only’.

You can then book an appointment with a suitable mobile technician in just a few steps.

How Do I Select a Trustworthy MOT Centre in Truro?

To select the most trustworthy MOT centre in Truro, you can filter our comparison results by reviews. This will show you the garages with the highest review score first.

All our unfiltered, verified reviews are left by previous customers of the garage, so they provide an accurate reflection of their experiences during an MOT, service or repair. That way, if a garage has a high review score from several hundred user reviews, you can be sure you will get a trustworthy MOT.

Once you have chosen your MOT centre, you can select a date and time to complete the booking.
