Pre-MOT Inspection Service Near Thorpe St Andrew, Norwich

Trusted by drivers from Thorpe St Andrew (NR7) and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage is just 2 miles east of Thorpe St Andrew via the A1042 ring road and Yarmouth Road.

The MOT test has become more stringent in recent years, with additional checks on diesel emissions, tyre condition and safety systems. Vehicles that passed easily five years ago may now face failures on items that previously attracted only advisories. A pre-MOT check helps ensure you're prepared for the current standards.

After Your Pre-MOT Inspection

Following your pre-MOT check, we provide a written report detailing:

  • Items that are likely MOT failures - with clear pricing for repair before your test date
  • Items that may attract advisories - with recommendations on whether to address them now or monitor
  • Items that are in good condition and unlikely to cause issues at the test

There's no obligation to have any repair work carried out by us - the inspection report is yours to take away. However, many customers choose to have identified work done before their MOT, as we can often schedule the work efficiently alongside the inspection.

We recommend booking your pre-MOT check at least one week before your MOT date to allow time for any parts to be sourced and work to be completed. Call 07933 900901 to arrange an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a pre-MOT check?

We recommend at least one week before your MOT date to allow time for any required work. Booking 2 weeks ahead is even better, particularly for items that may require parts to be ordered.

Does a new car need an MOT?

New cars require their first MOT at 3 years old. After that, an annual MOT is required. We'd recommend a pre-MOT check before the first test, as even new vehicles can develop minor issues - particularly lighting and tyre-related items - in their first three years.

What are the most common MOT failures?

The most common MOT failure categories are: lighting (faulty bulbs, aim), tyres (tread depth, condition), brakes (wear, imbalance), steering (play, worn components), and driver visibility (wiper blades, screen damage). All these items are covered in our pre-MOT inspection.
