Pre-MOT Repairs
Is a pre-MOT repair visit the same as an MOT?
It is a repair or preparation visit. The MOT is a separate roadworthiness and emissions test carried out through an authorised test station.
Pre-MOT Repairs — planning the work
For pre-mot repairs, the vehicle specification and condition determine suitable checks and parts. Some work needs workshop equipment, so describe the available space and the fault before confirming a mobile visit.

about this service.
Is it possible to work from an MOT failure notice?
Yes, supply the complete wording and defect references. They help the mechanic plan the repair, although the vehicle still needs examining before parts are confirmed.
Is it possible to replace lamps or wiper blades before the test?
The correct lamp or blade specification and access requirements depend on the vehicle. Suitable accessible items can often be dealt with on site.
Does repairing the listed faults guarantee an MOT pass?
The test station makes the formal decision. Other defects or changes in condition may still be identified when the vehicle is tested.
What should be covered at handover?
Check agreed repairs, operation and any further mechanical findings.
