MOT

Car & EV MOT — £39

Authorised Class 4 MOT testing in Edinburgh's Sighthill Industrial Estate. Cars, hybrids and electric vehicles up to 3,500kg.

What's included

Every Class 4 MOT covers the full DVSA inspection: brakes, lights, suspension, steering, tyres, seatbelts, wipers, mirrors, exhaust emissions, the structure of the vehicle, and the on-board tell-tales (ABS, airbag, engine management). We use the same diagnostic equipment we'd use on our own cars, and we test in-house — so anything that fails goes to one of our four bays the moment you give us the nod.

Who it's for

Cars, electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and light commercial vehicles up to 3,500kg. We've been MOT-ing EVs since well before they were popular, and we're HEVRA-certified for high-voltage work, so battery packs and electric drivetrains aren't a problem.

What it costs

£39Same price as last year, same as next year.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does an MOT take?

Around an hour start to finish. We'll let you know straight after the test — most folks drop the car off and we ring when it's ready.

What happens if it fails?

For minor fails we can try to fix and re-test the same day. For a major fail, unfortunately you can't drive your car home — we'd have to book it in for another day, but we'll try to do this as soon as possible.

Can I wait while you do it?

Yes — there's seating in reception and parking out the front. If you'd rather drop the car off and pick it up later, that works just as well.

Do you test electric vehicles?

We do. We're HEVRA-certified, so the high-voltage side is no problem. Plug-in hybrids and full EVs included.

What about commercial vehicles?

For Class 5 minibuses and Class 7 light commercials, see our Commercial Vehicle MOT page.
