Because of the many thousands of cars and vans we test each year, we are very experienced in understanding the test and the vulnerable points on different makes and models. The quality of our MOT’s is second to none and we understand classic cars, modern cars, vans, motor homes and valuable exotic’s.
For example, we are probably one of the few companies who have MOT tested not 1 but 2 ex-Le Mans Mclaren F1 racing cars, converted for road use and valued at a cool £10 million each. You can trust us to do all we can to help get you that all important pass certificate. If your car fails we will advise on the best way forward to get a pass. If it’s MOT repairs, you can trust us to economically repair your vehicle and get it successfully retested. Our testing standards are thorough but fair, confirmed by our strong record with the DVSA.
Regular servicing reduces the risk of breakdown and keeps the car in better condition and when stamped in your service book, adds £’s to its resale value.
An MOT is an essential safety check, but should not to be confused with a service. MOT testers are forbidden to remove or replace any item. A service allows us to change and/or inspect essential fluids and components such as oil, brake fluid and key filters.
It always makes sense to have an MOT & service together – it saves time & money!
Not only are they designed to be appropriate and comprehensive for the way you use your car, but they include the little important things that other garages just don’t do, such as checking the battery in your key fob or ensuring your clock has the right time and day. It’s all attention to detail!
We have 3 types available for cars & vans up to 3 litres:
Motest offers a fixed price oil & filter change for £150 inc. vat for all cars up to 3.0 litres.
Old and dirty oil will impact the health of your engine. Over time as it loses viscosity and gets contaminated, it will accelerate wear on key components like bearings. Just topping up with fresh oil and not changing the clogged filter is not the answer. If you do nothing else to your car, ensure you change your oil and filter to the recommended frequency as stipulated by the manufacturer.
At Motest, we will select the correct grade and filtration and check the sump plug is serviceable.
However, while good engine oil is critical to the health of your car engine, remember it is not a substitute for a service.

If you are thinking of an oil change, why not consider upgrading to our Essential service. Apart from oil & filter it looks at brakes, tyres, battery condition and much more to give you peace of mind that you car is safe.
When taken with an MOT which is not heavily discounted on the oil& filter change, it only costs an extra £40
