If you own a car that has been in use on the UK roads for over three years, the chances are that you have already used an approved MOT centre in the past. Garth Road MOT Centre, located in Morden, performs MOTs in the Class I, II, IV, V and VII categories for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, taxis, PHVs, PSVs, ambulances, minibuses, three-wheeled vehicles, large vans, bikes and quad bikes. We see the annual MOT test as one of our more important garage services.
Class I, II, IV, V and VII MOTs offer a visual and physical inspection of different safety, roadworthiness and emission standards on your vehicle. A qualified inspector conducts the test from an MOT centre approved by the DVSA, which sets the standards for MOT testing in the UK.
Our garage in Morden, as a recognised DVSA MOT centre, has dedicated inspection bays fitted with the equipment needed to perform the test, and the facilities to link to a nationwide database that stores details on MOTs across all categories. This ensures a faster turnaround of customer vehicles. The standard inspection for all classes lasts for around 45 minutes.
Our connection to the DVSA central database is about so much more than just keeping a record of the MOTs undertaken at our workshop. Nothing matters more to us than the satisfaction of our Morden and Surrey customers, and the Garth Road MOT Centre uses the details on our system to remind motorists when their next inspection is coming up. This ensures nobody consciously takes to the road without having a valid MOT certificate.
Driving without a valid MOT certificate could result in a maximum fine of £1,000 and can often result in a court appearance.
If you respond to our reminders early enough, you can book in for Class I, II, IV, V and VII MOTs up to one full month ahead of your current certificate expiring. Because MOTs can run concurrently, motorists in Morden get to enjoy 13 full months of certification. Garth Road MOT Centre offers fair and impartial testing in compliance with the current DVSA criteria.
If you fail an MOT test, our garage offers a comprehensive range of car repairs. We never administer additional garage services without your consent but if you leave us a number, we can contact you in the event of a test failure. We’ll do everything possible to have your car repaired on the same day and will even provide a re-test completely free of charge!
