MOT Stockport

As per UK laws, driving on public roads without a valid MOT licence is illegal and can result in hefty fines. Car insurance will also be void.

Apart from these, not taking a vehicle (once it turns three years after its registration) for MOT testing can jeopardise your on-road safety and increase your car servicing bills in the long run.

Checks We Cover Under An MOT Stockport

As per the legal standards, every DVSA-approved facility must conduct various assessments during the test. The testers at our MOT Centre Stockport will inspect many components of your vehicle, including:

and more.

The thorough assessment will allow us to pinpoint any discrepancies in your vehicle and categorise them as follows:

Minor: Minor problems mean they do not present an immediate safety hazard or adversely affect the environment. However, they indicate that components are beginning to wear or slowly fail and require attention. Even if the car has minor problems, it can still pass its MOT. The issues will be recorded.

Major: The major concerns are deficiencies that can significantly impact the environment, the divers' safety, and the safety of other road users or vehicles. In order for the car to be operational, these problems must be solved immediately. When a vehicle has major problems, it fails MOT and must be repaired before it can be tested again and deemed fit.

Dangerous: The dangerous category contains the most serious issues. These issues are an immediate and direct threat to the safety of the driver, other road users, passengers or the environment. Cars with dangerous issues will not pass MOT. The vehicle must no longer be driven/parked on public roads until all defects are repaired.

Vehicles with minor or no issues will pass the MOT Stockport with a VT20 certificate. However, if a vehicle has major or dangerous issues, the owner will get a VT30 certificate. All issues must be rectified, and a partial re-test must be carried out afterwards. Only then can a VT20 be issued.

In such cases, we will be happy to assist you.
