Book in for MOT testing at Etwelle Garage, the friendly, family-run business that can undertake MOTs in multiple categories. If you are a motorist with a car that has been on the road for more than three years, you have a legal obligation to have it inspected for safety, roadworthiness and emission standards with us on an annual basis.
The majority of MOTs undertaken at our garage are for the Class IV category, which covers passenger cars and light commercial models.
Areas covered by our MOT testing centre include:
Banstead | Cheam | Epsom | Ewell | Sutton
Our company also welcomes motorists from South London and Surrey.
Should a vehicle pass the MOT test, Etwelle Garage can issue a pass certificate valid for 12 months from the date of inspection. In the event of a test failure, we will explain our findings in detail and, if required to, will offer an estimate for the proposed repair work.
Subject to meeting our conditions, free MOT re-tests are available.
MOT tests in the UK are governed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and a garage must have approval from this important trade body if it offers MOT testing as a service. To gain approval, workshops must have dedicated inspection bays, trained personnel and computerised facilities that link to a database for record keeping.
Typically, MOTs take around 45 minutes to complete.
You can drop off your car or LCV in the morning and leave it with us to be tested or, if you would like to see our inspectors at work, we have a comfortable waiting area where you can sit back, relax, enjoy a refreshment and see how MOT testing appointments run in real time.
In some cases, we may find issues with your vehicle that won’t cause it to fail the inspection, but which should demand your attention. We will list these issues on the final paperwork as advisories. It is our recommendation that you have them seen to as soon as you can.
Should you need us to repair a car or LCV that has failed a test, we often complete the work – and the re-test – on the same day.
Book in for MOTs at Etwelle Garage in Epsom where we extend friendly welcomes to motorists from Banstead, Cheam, Ewell and Sutton, as well as to those in the surrounding areas. Because MOT testing is a mandatory requirement, having valid certification in place keeps any vehicle presented in a legal, compliant and road-safe condition.
Should you be caught driving without a valid MOT certificate, a fine of up to £1,000.00 applies and you could invalidate your insurance.
Once on our database, we maintain contact with the customer and will let them know when their next MOT testing appointment is due. While we specialise in Class IV MOTs, Etwelle Garage can also perform the inspection across other categories as a complete service provider.
