MOT

Whenever you get behind the wheel of a car, we want you to do so with confidence. That’s why the condition and health of your vehicle is our number one priority. To comply with UK road laws, all vehicles over 3 years old must have a current MOT test certificate. This must be renewed on an annual basis and completed before your previous certificate has expired. As a reliable local garage, Axminster Autos have the experience and a team of engineers to help you pass your next MOT. Carrying out essential checks thoroughly and in accordance with the law, our mechanics will go through your vehicle’s components with a fine-tooth comb to make sure everything is in working order. We make sure that, when you drive out of our garage, your car or van is suitable for any journey. Our team is also on hand before your MOT is due, to support with simple maintenance tips that can help avoid faults being flagged at a later date.
