MOT pre-check in Loughborough
The common MOT fail points checked before the test. We can take the car to the test station for you too.
An MOT pre-check goes over the things the tester will look at, so problems can be fixed before the test instead of after a fail.
We aren't an MOT test station ourselves. We do the pre-check and any repairs here on Cumberland Rd, then take your car to a local approved MOT test station for the test.
What a pre-check covers
- Lights, indicators and number plate lamps
- Tyre tread and condition
- Brakes and handbrake
- Wipers, washers and windscreen
- Steering and suspension
- Exhaust, and warning lights on the dashboard
- Seat belts, horn and mirrors
What’s included
- A check of the common fail points listed above
- A list of anything likely to fail, and what it needs
- The repairs, if you want us to do them
- Taking your car to a local approved MOT test station for the test
Common questions
Do you carry out MOT tests?
No. MOT tests can only be done at approved test stations. We check the car and do any repairs, then take it to a local approved test station for the test itself.
How early can I get an MOT?
You can have your car tested up to a month, minus a day, before the current MOT runs out and keep the same renewal date. So if it runs out on 15 May, the earliest date is 16 April.
What do cars most often fail on?
Lights, tyres, brakes and suspension come up again and again, and plenty of fails are quick fixes: a blown bulb or a worn wiper blade is enough. That's exactly what a pre-check is for.
