Book Your MOT Test

Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and compliant with UK law by booking your MOT with Crown Garage Orpington. We offer professional and reliable MOT services for cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles. With experienced technicians and a fully equipped garage, you can trust us to keep your vehicle safe on the road.

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a legal requirement for all vehicles in the UK over 3 years old. This annual check ensures that your vehicle meets the safety and environmental standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The test includes a thorough inspection of key components such as lights, tyres, brakes, seatbelts, and emissions to ensure your car is roadworthy.

You can check your MOT due date by looking at your current MOT certificate or by using the DVSA’s online service with your vehicle registration number. It's important to note that your MOT can be renewed up to one month (minus a day) before its expiry date without losing the existing renewal date. This means you could get up to 13 months on your MOT instead of 12. Remember, driving without a valid MOT can result in fines of up to £1,000 or even more if your vehicle is deemed dangerous.

At Crown Garage Orpington, an MOT will typically take a couple of hours for our qualified technicians conduct the test, ensuring your vehicle meets all necessary requirements.

If your vehicle fails its MOT, we’ll provide you with a detailed report of the issues, categorised into ‘minor’, ‘major’, or ‘dangerous’ faults. For minor issues, you’ll receive an advisory note, while major or dangerous faults will need to be repaired before your vehicle can pass the test. In many cases, we can carry out the repairs quickly, and you may even be entitled to a free re-test if the repairs are done within 10 working days.
