Frequently Asked Questions About Class 4 MOT

How do I know if my vehicle needs a Class 4 MOT?

If you drive a standard car, small van, or private vehicle with up to 8 seats and weighing under 3,000kg, you need a Class 4 MOT. This covers about 95% of all vehicles on UK roads. If you're unsure, our team can confirm the correct MOT class when you book.

Can I drive my car to the MOT test if it's expired?

You can only drive to a pre-booked MOT test without a valid certificate, and only if your vehicle is roadworthy. However, we recommend not letting your MOT expire - you can book up to one month early without losing time on your current certificate.

What's the difference between Class 4 and other MOT classes?

Class 4 is for standard cars and light vehicles up to 3,000kg with up to 8 seats. Class 5 covers larger passenger vehicles (13+ seats), while Class 7 is for commercial vehicles between 3,000-3,500kg. Class 4 is the most common MOT test type.

How long does a Class 4 MOT take?

A standard Class 4 MOT test takes approximately 45-60 minutes. This includes all required checks and documentation. If minor repairs are needed, we can often complete these on the same day, though this may extend the total time.

Do you offer Class 4 MOT and service packages?

Yes, we offer excellent value packages combining your Class 4 MOT with a full or interim service. This saves time and money while ensuring your car is both legal and well-maintained. Contact us for current package pricing and availability.

What happens if my Class 4 MOT fails?

If your vehicle fails, we'll provide a detailed explanation of all issues found. Many failures can be repaired while you wait, and we offer competitive pricing on all repairs. When work is completed by us, your retest is completely free of charge.
