What Does an MOT Check?

An MOT checks that your vehicle meets the required road safety and environmental standards.

During the test, a number of important areas of your vehicle are inspected, including:

  • Brakes

  • Tyres and wheels

  • Lights

  • Steering and suspension

  • Seatbelts

  • Windscreen, washers and wipers

  • Exhaust and emissions

  • Vehicle structure and body condition

If your vehicle passes, you'll receive your MOT certificate and you're good to go for another year.

If it doesn't pass, don't worry. We'll explain exactly what's failed and what work may be required.

When Is My MOT Due?

You can check your vehicle's MOT expiry date online using the government's MOT checker.

You can have your MOT carried out up to one month (minus a day) before your current certificate expires and keep the same renewal date.

For example, if your MOT expires on 20 November, you can have your MOT carried out from 21 October and keep the same renewal date.

Booking early also gives you some breathing room if your vehicle needs repairs before it can pass.

What Are MOT Advisories?

Your vehicle can pass its MOT but still receive advisories.

An advisory highlights something that isn't serious enough to fail the MOT at the time of the test but may need attention in the future.

This could include things such as tyre wear, brake wear or deterioration to suspension components.

We'll explain any advisories so you know what's been identified and can make an informed decision about when to have the work carried out.

What Happens If My Car Fails Its MOT?

If your vehicle fails its MOT, we'll explain the reason for the failure and advise you on the repairs required.

Because Robbie's Garage is a full-service workshop, we can carry out a wide range of repairs on site, meaning you don't need to find another garage to complete the work. 

Once the necessary repairs have been completed - by us or someone else -  we offer a free MOT retest within 10 working days.

Free Headlight Alignment With Your MOT

Headlight alignment forms part of the MOT inspection, and incorrectly aligned headlights can result in an MOT failure.

At Robbie's Garage, headlight alignment is included free of charge with your MOT, so if your headlights simply require adjustment during the test, we've got you covered.

Prefer to Wait While We Carry Out Your MOT?

You're more than welcome to wait with us while your MOT is being carried out.

We have a comfortable customer waiting area with complimentary hot and cold drinks, so you can sit back with a cuppa while our MOT testers get to work.

Can't Get Your Car to Us? We'll Collect It

Busy at work? Struggling to arrange a lift? Or simply don't want to spend your day waiting around for your vehicle?

Robbie's Garage offers vehicle collection and delivery from your home or workplace, subject to availability.

We'll collect your vehicle, bring it to our Haverhill workshop for its MOT and arrange its return once it's ready.

Just ask our team about collection and delivery when booking your appointment.

As Haverhill's largest independent garage, our workshops offer much more than MOT testing.

Our team can also help with:

  • Vehicle servicing

  • Diagnostics and warning lights

  • Brakes

  • Clutches

  • Timing belts and timing chains

  • Tyres

  • Air conditioning

  • Steering and suspension

  • Exhaust repair or replacement 

  • Fleet maintenance
