What Does an MOT Test Check?
An MOT checks whether your vehicle meets the minimum legal standards for road safety and environmental requirements at the time of the test.
Areas inspected include:
- Brakes and braking performance
- Tyres and wheels
- Steering and suspension
- Lights and electrical equipment
- Seat belts and restraint systems
- Windscreen, washers and wipers
- Vehicle structure and body condition
- Exhaust system and emissions where applicable
- Registration plates and vehicle identification
An MOT checks minimum legal roadworthiness standards. A service is preventative maintenance and involves additional inspections and replacement of service items.
If both are due, you can book your MOT and service together.

What Happens If My Car Fails Its MOT?
If your vehicle fails, we will clearly explain the defects recorded during the MOT.
Where repairs are required, we can provide a quotation for the necessary work. Nothing additional is carried out without your authorisation.
Our workshop can carry out a wide range of MOT repairs including brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, exhausts and other mechanical work.
MOT Testing for Lowered Cars
Our MOT testing facilities include a sunken inspection ramp, making the test centre suitable for many lowered and low-clearance vehicles that can be difficult to accommodate on conventional ramps.
If your vehicle is particularly low or modified, contact us beforehand and our team can advise.
Electric & Hybrid Vehicle MOTs
Electric vehicles require an MOT in the same way as other eligible vehicles once they reach the relevant age.
Although a fully electric vehicle does not undergo an exhaust emissions test, the MOT still covers important safety areas such as tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, lights and the vehicle structure.
We provide MOT testing, servicing and repairs for electric and hybrid vehicles from our Lincoln workshop.
More Than Just MOT Testing
If your vehicle requires maintenance or repair work, our Lincoln workshop provides a comprehensive range of services.
Timing & Wet Belts
Timing belt, Ford EcoBoost and other specialist wet belt replacements.
