When Should You Opt For MOT Checks Birmingham

After a vehicle's registration passes 3 years, it must undergo an MOT test every year. In simple words, MOT certificates remain valid for 12 months. With FlashFit, you can schedule an MOT session at our workshop 30 days before your current MOT certificate expires.

Who Can Opt For MOT Class 4 Birmingham

The MOT category varies depending on your vehicle type. Therefore, you must take a Class 4 MOT if you drive a passenger car, ambulance, taxi, or minibus with 12 or fewer seats. Drivers of goods vehicles with gross dry weights of more than 3000 kg need to use MOT Class 7 Birmingham.

Components Checked During An MOT Testing Birmingham

A DVSA-authorised garage inspects the following car parts during an MOT inspection:

  • Wheels and tyres
  • Steering and suspension
  • Vehicle body
  • Exhaust system plus emissions
  • Horn
  • Seats and seatbelts
  • Windscreen and wipers
  • Suspension
  • Overall body condition
  • Brakes
  • Headlights, tail lights, indicators, etc.

A complete list of the components tested is available on the government website or in our garage.

We recommend that our clients opt for a quick pre-MOT check or a routine maintenance service before booking an MOT test. This can help detect issues at an early stage so they can be rectified before the test.

Certificates

A VT20 (pass) or VT30 (fail) certificate is issued based on the test results.

The vehicle passes with no- or only minor faults.

In case of minor faults, you will receive an advisory note attached to your VT20 suggesting necessary repairs/ replacements. They should be carried out as soon as possible. On the other hand, if any major or dangerous faults are found, you will receive a VT30. This means that once your old MOT has expired, you are no longer allowed to drive or park on public roads.

You must get all faults rectified, and the vehicle must undergo a partial re-test afterwards in order to receive the necessary VT20.
