We offer a complete MOT preparation service across Chelmsford: we inspect your car at your home or workplace before the test, fix anything that would fail, and if you like, take the car to a local approved test centre and return it to you afterwards — you don’t have to go anywhere.

Pre-MOT inspection

Below are the items that we check as part of our pre-MOT inspection:

• All lights and number plate bulbs
• Tyre condition and tread depth
• Brake wear and operation
• Suspension components and play
• Wipers, washers and the windscreen
• Exhaust condition and visible emissions
• Horn, seatbelts and mirrors

Small, cheap-to-fix items — a blown bulb, a worn wiper blade, a low tyre — cause a huge share of MOT failures, and catching them a week early saves the cost and hassle of a retest. Where something bigger shows up, we’ll quote to put it right there and then. Any bigger jobs we can fix as part of our mobile repair service.

If your car has already failed, send us the MOT failure sheet and we’ll quote to fix the listed items at your home, then get the car retested.

An MOT is a minimum legal standard rather than a health check, so if the car’s also due a service it makes sense to combine the two — our mobile servicing can be done in the same visit. Either way, our Chelmsford mobile mechanic service takes the whole job off your hands: check, fix, test, done.
