Good to know
Can I get an MOT today?
Sometimes. Two reviewers were fitted in the same day after ringing. Call 01604 219322 and ask what's free; it depends on the day.
Can I wait while the car is tested?
Yes. Reviewers describe a heated waiting room and two toilets, kept clean.
How early can I have my MOT?
Up to a month minus a day before your current MOT runs out, and you keep the same renewal date. Your certificate shows the expiry date, or check it on GOV.UK with your number plate.
My MOT has run out. Can I drive to the test?
Only to an MOT that's already booked. Ring first to book, then drive straight there.
Will they try to sell me work I don't need?
Reviewers say not: one wrote they gave useful advice and recommendations "without trying to push anything unnecessary". No unnecessary work and transparency are both Google review topics.
What does an MOT cost?
Ring and ask. The government sets a maximum fee for an MOT; the price here isn't listed online, so it isn't quoted on this page.
Where are you?
19a Cotton End in Far Cotton, Northampton NN4 8BS, just south of the river on the way out of town. The entrance is wheelchair accessible.
MOT due? Ring and ask what's free.
