We want to be upfront with you: Alderley Autos is not itself an MOT test centre. We use a trusted, DVSA-authorised testing station right around the corner from our garage. This means your car is tested on proper, calibrated equipment by an accredited tester — exactly as it should be.
What we provide is everything around the MOT — the preparation, the arrangement, any repairs needed, and the peace of mind that someone who knows your car is looking after the whole process. Most of our customers combine their MOT with a car service or a specific repair, which is by far the most cost-effective and convenient way to keep your car roadworthy.
Most customers choose one of these combinations — sensible, cost-effective, and convenient.
Just need the test? No problem. We arrange the MOT at our trusted local centre. Simple and straightforward.
The most popular choice. We service your car first, fix anything likely to cause a fail, then send it for the MOT. Best value, one visit.
Failed a recent MOT, or know something needs fixing before your test? We carry out the repair and arrange the MOT once it's done.
An MOT is a legal requirement for all vehicles over 3 years old in the UK. It tests whether your car meets the minimum road safety and environmental standards set by the DVSA. It does not check the general mechanical condition of your engine or gearbox — that's what a service is for.
The test covers over 40 components. Here are the main areas:
"Booked a service and MOT together. They sorted a brake issue before the test so it sailed through first time. Brilliant service, couldn't be easier."
"My car failed its MOT elsewhere. Brought it to Alderley Autos, they fixed the issues the same day and got the retest sorted. Great communication throughout."
"Really honest and straightforward. They told me exactly what needed doing for the MOT and gave me a fair price. No nasty surprises."
