Give your car the best chance of passing its MOT - our thorough pre-MOT checks find issues first.
Nobody wants to fail their MOT - it's inconvenient, can be costly, and means your vehicle is off the road until the required repairs are completed. Our pre-MOT checks at Norwich Tyres & Auto Service are designed to give drivers across Norwich and Norfolk the best possible chance of sailing through their official DVSA test first time. Based on Ber Street, Norwich NR1 3ES, our experienced technicians carry out a thorough pre-test inspection covering all the critical areas assessed during an MOT, giving you the time and information to address anything that might be a problem before your actual test date.
During a pre-MOT check, we inspect your tyres for legal tread depth, sidewall condition and correct inflation pressure; test your brakes for pad and disc wear, brake fluid condition and overall performance; check all exterior and interior lights for correct operation; examine steering and suspension components for excessive wear, play or damage; check your exhaust for emissions levels, leaks and security of mounting; and inspect your seatbelts, windscreen, wiper condition, horn, and exposed bodywork and structure. Anything that's likely to result in a failure or advisory is clearly explained to you in plain language, with a transparent written quote for any remedial work before you commit to having it done.
The practical value of a pre-MOT check is that you remain in complete control. You can choose to have any identified work carried out with us at competitive Norwich prices before your test date, rather than facing the stress and disappointment of a failure, a re-test fee, and additional waiting time without your vehicle. Many of our regular customers from across Norwich, Sprowston, Thorpe St Andrew and the wider Norfolk area now make a pre-MOT check a standard part of their annual vehicle care routine. Call us on 07933 900901 to book yours today.
A pre-MOT check with us typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on the vehicle and how much there is to inspect. We'll work through all the main MOT categories systematically and provide you with a clear summary of our findings once the inspection is complete. If everything looks good, you'll have genuine peace of mind going into your official test. If we find items that need attention, we'll provide a straightforward quote and can often arrange the repair work at the same time or during a subsequent visit before your test date.
We're well placed to handle the full range of repairs that a pre-MOT check might reveal - from new tyres and brake pads to exhaust repairs, bulb replacements and wiper blades. Having us carry out both the pre-check and any remedial work keeps things simple and means there's continuity between identifying the problem and fixing it. We won't recommend work that isn't needed, and we'll always give you a clear explanation of why something needs attention so you can make an informed decision.

Our pre-MOT inspection covers the same key areas as a DVSA MOT test, including brakes, tyres, lights, steering and suspension, horn, windscreen wipers and washers, seatbelts, exhaust emissions, and bodywork. We aim to identify any items likely to cause a failure so they can be addressed before your official test.
Ideally, book your pre-MOT check 2-4 weeks before your MOT test date. This gives enough time for any identified work to be completed and scheduled without rushing. However, if your MOT is imminent, call us on 07933 900901 and we'll do our best to fit you in as quickly as possible.
Absolutely. One of the key benefits of getting a pre-MOT check with us in Norwich is that we can carry out all common repairs on the same visit or at a follow-up appointment before your official test. From tyres and brakes to lights and exhausts, we handle the full range of MOT-related repairs.
