Here’s all about our MOT test and interim services.

MOT

Solent MOT Centre Ltd. is a DVSA-approved service station offering MOT Southampton for class 4 vehicles. We abide by the UK government norms and conduct all essential checks per the updated legal guidelines.

Prior to starting the test, we look into the MOT history of a vehicle to determine the recurrent issues. During the test we check several areas, including:

  • Suspension
  • Seatbelts
  • Lights
  • Brakes
  • Exhaust emissions
  • Tyres and wheels
  • Doors
  • Steering and more

If a car passes an MOT, we issue a VT20 certificate which validates the vehicle’s roadworthiness for a year. In case of failure, we provide a VT30 certificate.

In such cases, you may opt for our post-MOT repairs, after which you can get a partial retest within ten working days of the actual test at a reduced cost.
