MOT Worcester

Under UK Law every car of age 3 years or more has to ensure that it is safe and roadworthy by undergoing a Ministry of Transport Test. Once the vehicle passes all the checks of MOT, an MOT Certificate is issued that is valid for 1 year after which the vehicle has to undergo the test again.

At our MOT Centre in Worcester, we take about an hour to conduct a detailed check of your car. Once you pass the test, a certificate is issued to you there and then and you are good to go.

We are open from Mon ~ Fri from 08:00~18:00 and on Sat from 08:00 ~ 17:00. We offer MOT testing services to customers located in Bransford, Claines, Henwick, Hallow, Fernill Heath and all other nearby areas. Give us a visit today!
