Professional MOT Testing Services

At Premier Garage Services, we provide comprehensive MOT testing for all types of vehicles at our RAC-approved testing station in Stockport. Our experienced MOT testers conduct thorough examinations to ensure your vehicle meets all legal safety and environmental standards required for UK roads.

According to UK legislation, all vehicles aged three years or over must undergo a yearly MOT test. This essential safety check examines critical components of your vehicle to ensure they meet the minimum legal standards. Our state-of-the-art MOT testing facility in Hazel Grove is equipped with the latest technology to test Class 4, Class 5, and Class 7 vehicles efficiently and accurately.

What We Test During Your MOT

Our comprehensive MOT test covers over 150 different checks on your vehicle. We examine everything from your lights and indicators to your exhaust emissions and structural integrity. Our qualified testers follow DVSA guidelines strictly to ensure your vehicle is safe and roadworthy.

Key areas we inspect include:

Lighting and signalling equipment
Steering and suspension systems
Brakes and braking performance
Tyres and road wheels condition
Seat belts and safety systems
Emissions and exhaust system
Vehicle structure and bodywork
Engine and transmission

MOT Classes We Test

Class 4 MOT: The most common MOT test, covering cars, private hire vehicles, and passenger vehicles with up to 8 seats. This includes most family cars, small vans, and motorhomes under 3,000kg.

Class 5 MOT: For private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats, including minibuses and larger motorhomes. These vehicles require additional safety checks due to their passenger-carrying capacity.

Class 7 MOT: Commercial vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg, including larger vans and small trucks. These tests include additional checks on loading areas and commercial vehicle specific requirements.

Not sure which class your vehicle falls under? Our friendly team can help identify the correct MOT class for your vehicle when you book.

Tyres: Insufficient tread depth (below 1.6mm) or damage

To ensure a smooth MOT testing experience, please bring:

Your vehicle registration document (V5C)

When is Your MOT Due?

Your first MOT is due when your vehicle is 3 years old, then annually thereafter. You can have your MOT test done up to one month before it expires without losing any time on your current certificate. We recommend booking early to avoid any last-minute rush and ensure you get a convenient appointment slot.

Driving without a valid MOT certificate is illegal and can result in a fine of up to £1,000. It also invalidates your insurance, potentially leaving you personally liable for any accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions About MOT Testing
