What Is Checked During an MOT?

An MOT is a legal annual test that checks important parts of your vehicle to make sure they meet required road safety and environmental standards.

The test looks at key safety areas such as:
  • Lights and indicators.
  • Brakes.
  • Tyres and wheels.
  • Steering and suspension.
  • Seatbelts.
  • Mirrors and visibility.
  • Windscreen, wipers and washers.
  • Exhaust and emissions.
  • Number plates.
  • Vehicle structure and general condition.

MOT and Service in Newcastle

If your MOT is due around the same time as your service, it can make sense to book both together.

A service helps maintain the overall condition of your vehicle, while the MOT checks whether it meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. Booking them together can save time, reduce hassle and give you a clearer picture of your vehicle’s condition.

At West Auto, we can help with:
  • MOT bookings.
  • Interim servicing.
  • Full servicing.
  • Service and MOT appointments.
  • Safety checks.
  • Fault finding and diagnostics.
  • Repairs after an MOT failure.
  • Tyres, brakes, suspension and general repairs.
If you are not sure what your vehicle needs, give us a call and we will point you in the right direction.

What Happens If Your Vehicle Fails Its MOT?

If your vehicle does not pass its MOT, do not panic.

We will explain the result clearly and talk you through what needs to happen next. Some issues may be simple fixes. Others may need further inspection or repair work before the vehicle can pass.

You stay in control of the decision. We will explain what has failed, what is advisory, and what work is needed to get your vehicle back to a safe and roadworthy condition.

Because West Auto also provides servicing, diagnostics and repairs, you do not need to start again with another garage if work is required.

Not Sure When Your MOT Is Due?

You can check your MOT due date online using your vehicle registration number via the offical link www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

Most vehicles need their first MOT when they are three years old, then every year after that. You can usually book your MOT up to one month minus a day before it expires and keep the same renewal date for the following year.

If your MOT is due soon, it is worth booking early so you are not left rushing at the last minute.

MOT Prices

The current maximum MOT fee for a standard car is £54.85.

West Auto 5 Star Reviews
I had a fantastic experience at this garage! They handled my car's small repairs quickly and effectively, getting me back on the road in no time. The team was professional, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing.
Highly recommend their services! Will be back 😊
Excellent garage. Highly recommend. Had an issue with the coolant on my way home from holiday with a 2 hour journey still to do. Pulled in at 4.30 and asked if they could take a look. Immediately saw the issue and set about a temporary repair. Friendly and knowledgeable. Even provided a cannister of water in case we needed a top up on the way home.
I cannot thank them enough. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience with this garage. The team was professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was done on time and the price was fair.
It’s hard to find a garage you can trust, but I definitely recommend them!
