Annual Vehicle Inspections Every Birmingham Driver Needs
Your annual MOT is a legal requirement that checks your vehicle meets essential safety and environmental standards. You'll need this inspection once your car turns three years old, then every year after that. It covers everything from brakes and lights to emissions and structural integrity. Without a valid MOT certificate, you can't legally drive on Birmingham's roads or renew your vehicle tax, making this inspection crucial for staying compliant and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does an MOT test cost in Birmingham?
You'll find our MOT testing competitively priced with transparent, fixed costs—no hidden fees or surprise charges. The exact price depends on your vehicle type, but we provide honest quotes upfront before any work begins. Unlike some garages that use low test prices to push unnecessary repairs, we give you straight assessments and fair pricing that's earned us over 2,849 satisfied customers.
What happens during a DVSA-approved MOT inspection?
Our certified testers examine over 30 critical components including your brakes, suspension, lights, tyres, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. The inspection follows strict DVSA protocols and typically takes 45-60 minutes in our fully equipped facility. You'll receive a clear, detailed report explaining what passed and what needs attention, with no pressure tactics—just honest assessments.
Can you collect my car for the MOT test?
Absolutely—we collect your vehicle free of charge from anywhere in Birmingham using our specialised transport trucks. You don't need to arrange drop-off, take time off work, or stress over logistics. We handle everything, test your car at our DVSA-approved centre, then deliver it back to you with the certificate or a transparent explanation of any repairs needed.
How long does the MOT testing process take?
The actual inspection takes 45-60 minutes, but we offer same-day availability for the complete service including collection and return. If your vehicle passes, you'll have it back with the certificate the same day. Should any repairs be needed, we can often complete those immediately too, thanks to our comprehensive facility that handles everything from minor fixes to major work.
What happens if my car fails the MOT?
We'll explain exactly what failed and why, then provide a transparent, fixed-price quote for the necessary repairs before any work begins. Unlike test-only centres, our fully equipped garage can address the issues immediately using quality parts backed by warranties. You'll also get a free retest within 10 days once repairs are complete, and we handle all the logistics.
Why choose your garage over mobile mechanics for testing?
Mobile mechanics can only perform basic roadside checks and aren't equipped for official MOT testing—you need a DVSA-approved facility like ours. We have the certified equipment, qualified testers, and comprehensive workshop to conduct proper inspections and handle any repairs that arise. Mobile mechanics manage less than 10% of repairs; we handle everything from A-Z in one place.
When should I book my MOT test?
You can take your MOT up to a month before it expires without losing any time—the new certificate adds to your existing expiry date. We offer same-day availability for urgent situations, but booking ahead ensures your preferred time slot. Driving without a valid MOT risks a £1,000 fine, so it's worth scheduling early to avoid any last-minute stress.
Do you provide MOT services throughout Birmingham?

Our decade-plus local experience means we understand Birmingham's driving conditions and the common issues vehicles face here.

Yes, our facility is equipped to test everything from everyday cars to specialised brands without manufacturer restrictions. We conduct comprehensive diagnostics and can perform any necessary repairs across all vehicle types. Whether you drive a small hatchback, family SUV, or commercial van, our certified testers and fully equipped workshop handle it all to DVSA standards.
What's included in your MOT testing service?
You get the complete DVSA inspection, free collection and delivery across Birmingham, transparent results with detailed explanations, and same-day service availability. If repairs are needed, we provide fixed-price quotes upfront and use premium quality parts backed by warranties. You'll also receive a free retest within 10 days if work was required, plus your official certificate valid for 12 months.
Should I get my car serviced at the same time?
While an MOT checks legal safety standards, a service maintains your car's overall health and can prevent future MOT failures. Since we're already collecting your vehicle, it's convenient to combine both. We can advise whether your car would benefit from servicing based on its condition during testing, but there's never any pressure—just honest recommendations to keep you safe and save money long-term.
