We are a VOSA appointed Class 4 and 7 MOT Centre, this means we can MOT cars and vans.
At CG Autos, we are a VOSA-approved MOT centre for both Class 4 and Class 7 vehicles — meaning we can test cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles. All MOTs are carried out in-house by fully certified and highly trained MOT engineers using the latest specialist diagnostic and inspection equipment.
We also offer MOT testing and repair services for businesses with vehicle fleets. Whether short-term or long-term, we provide contract options for companies without their own in-house servicing facilities — all at highly competitive rates.
- MOTs can be pre-booked up to 30 days before the due date
- Pre-MOT inspections are available to help identify any potential issues in advance
- Tests are performed by trained inspectors to ensure compliance with the latest safety standards
The MOT test involves a thorough inspection of over 150 safety-related and emission control components, including:
- Brakes, suspension, and steering
- Lights, indicators, and reflectors
- Exhaust system and emissions
- Wheels and tyres
- Seat belts and seats
- Doors, mirrors, and windscreen
- Bonnet catch, horn, fuel system, number plate, VIN
- Wipers and washer fluid
If your car is over three years old, it legally requires an annual MOT inspection. Without a valid MOT certificate:
- You cannot drive the vehicle legally
- You cannot renew road tax
- You may be fined or face insurance issues
While newer vehicles often pass without issue, wear and tear or unnoticed damage can still cause failures. That’s why an MOT is a valuable safety check — not just a legal obligation.
Should any repairs be needed, we can handle them on-site during the same visit. We use genuine or OEM-equivalent parts, ensuring quality and longevity.
After testing, you’ll receive:
- A VT20 certificate (proof of MOT pass)
- A VT32 advisory notice (if there are recommended but non-critical repairs)
Timing your MOT alongside your vehicle's annual or bi-annual service is a practical way to save time and money. This approach helps prevent future breakdowns and keeps your car running smoothly year-round.
