Getting ready for your MOT? Our MOT prep service in Newhaven helps you avoid unexpected failures by spotting issues before the test. We follow a full pre-MOT checklist to make sure your vehicle meets DVSA standards and is roadworthy.
Pre-MOT Inspection You Can Trust
Our pre-MOT inspection covers all the key areas that typically cause failures. We check lights, brakes, emissions, and more — so you can go into your MOT with confidence.
Whether your test is booked at a local MOT centre or you're just making sure everything's in order, this service can save you time and money.
Lights and Indicators Check
Faulty lights are one of the most common MOT failures. We check all exterior and interior lights, including headlamps, indicators, brake lights, and number plate illumination.
We’ll replace any failed bulbs and ensure everything is aligned and working as it should.
Brake Test and Suspension Check
We test your brakes for performance and balance, checking pads, discs, fluid levels, and warning lights.
Our suspension check includes visual inspection of shocks, springs, control arms, and bushes to ensure a smooth, safe ride — and a pass on test day.
Emissions Testing and Engine Health
We check exhaust emissions using the latest equipment, particularly important for diesel vehicles under stricter rules.
If your car shows signs of poor combustion, we’ll look into air filters, spark plugs, and sensors that might affect your emissions reading.
Tyre Tread Depth and Pressure Check
Tyres must meet the legal minimum tread depth (1.6mm across the central three-quarters). We measure all four tyres, including the spare if fitted.
We’ll also check tyre pressure and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Windscreen and Wipers Inspection
Your windscreen must be free from damage in the driver's line of sight.
We check for chips, cracks, and test your wipers and washers to ensure they clear the screen effectively. We’ll top up washer fluid and replace wiper blades if needed.
Fluid Level Top-Ups
Low fluid levels can trigger warning lights or cause performance issues. As part of your MOT prep, we check and top up engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering, and screen wash.
Full MOT Checklist Based on DVSA Standards
We follow the same categories used in the MOT test — lights, steering, brakes, tyres, seatbelts, exhaust, and more.
You’ll get a report outlining anything that needs fixing, plus advice on what’s borderline so you can plan ahead.
Roadworthiness Guaranteed
Our goal is simple: to make sure your car is safe, legal, and ready to pass its MOT. If we find any issues, we can repair them on-site or book you in before your test date.
