DVSA approved testers
Your MOT will be carried out by DVSA approved testers who follow strict government guidelines at all times. Our qualified technicians are regularly assessed, trained and monitored to make sure every inspection is accurate, consistent and fully recorded.
We explain results in plain language, discuss advisory items, and never start repair work without your clear permission and agreement on costs. Our equipment is kept correctly calibrated and our processes are regularly checked so you receive a trustworthy MOT result and complete peace of mind.
MOT test Services
Our MOT test services cover class 4 vehicles, including most cars, small vans and light commercial vehicles. D&B Automotive offers advance and same day bookings where available, with clear prices and no hidden charges.
If your vehicle fails, we provide a clear report and a free, no obligation quote for any repair work needed before a free partial retest within the allowed time frame.
Petrol and diesel emissions testing
Petrol and diesel emissions testing checks that your engine and exhaust meet current environmental limits.
Using modern equipment, we measure smoke levels and harmful gases. If your car fails, we can investigate the cause, suggest repairs and retest once the issue has been fixed.
Hybrid and electric vehicle MOTs
We carry out MOTs for hybrid and electric vehicles using equipment and procedures suited to newer technologies. Our testers understand regenerative braking, high voltage safety and electric drive systems.
We check all standard MOT items and explain any issues found in clear language, with practical advice on the next steps.
Tyres, brakes and lights checks
Your tyres, brakes and lights are vital for safe driving and are a key part of every MOT.
We check tyre tread depth, condition and pressures, along with brake performance and warning lights. All exterior lights and indicators are tested, with repair or replacement options if needed.
Suspension, steering and horn checks
During the MOT, we inspect your suspension and steering components for wear, damage or leaks, and test that your horn works properly.
These checks help make sure your vehicle stays stable and responds correctly on the road. If we find faults, we will explain the repair choices.
Wipers, washers and screen visibility
Good visibility is essential for safe driving, so your wipers, washers and windscreen are carefully checked during the MOT.
We test washer jets, wiper blades and their sweep across the glass, along with chips and cracks in the driver’s view. We then advise on the best fix.
Number plates and warning lights
We check number plates to make sure they are secure, readable and correctly spaced, and we test dashboard warning lights to confirm that key safety systems work as they should.
Our technicians can diagnose many warning light faults and advise on the best way to resolve them.
Common fail reasons and how we fix them
Common MOT failures include worn tyres, faulty lights, damaged suspension components, worn brakes and issues with wipers or the windscreen. Exhaust leaks, emissions failures and dashboard warning lights are also frequent problems. When your vehicle fails, D&B Automotive will clearly explain each fault and its priority.
We can carry out the required repairs, using quality parts, and then complete a free partial retest within the allowed period to get you legally back on the road. We provide a clear, prioritised quote, use quality parts that meet manufacturer standards and keep you informed at every stage.
Fleet and business MOTs
D&B Automotive provides MOT testing for fleet and business vehicles, helping you keep your cars and vans on the road with minimal disruption. We can schedule regular MOT bookings in advance, group visits for multiple vehicles and send reminders before expiry dates.
Our team works closely with fleet managers, small business owners and trade customers to plan testing around working hours, collection times or delivery routes. Clear digital or printed reports make it easy to track advisory items, plan maintenance and manage budgets.
We offer transparent pricing, simple invoicing and, where available, priority booking to reduce downtime and keep your drivers, vehicles and customers safe and compliant. Our friendly staff are always available to discuss your schedule and adapt to changes.
