MOT Testing & Safety Inspection Centre
Motor Clinic has been MOT Testing in Stoke-on-Trent since 1984. Hence, 2024 marks our 40th anniversary of MOT testing.
We’re celebrating this milestone with the launch of our brand new, purpose built MOT and inspection centre.
This gives us the capacity to carry out MOT tests on cars, 4×4’s, vans, pick-ups, minibuses, campervans and motorhomes in-house at our site in Trentham Road, Longton.
MOT classes 4, 5 & 7 vehicles tested on site
With 4 testers on site and over 40 years’ experience in the motor industry, Motor Clinic is your tried and trusted MOT testing centre.
You’ll have peace of mind that your vehicle is in safe hands and will undergo an authentic examination.
Should your vehicle fail it’s MOT, we can carry out any necessary repairs in our fully-equipped workshops. You’ll be back on the road in no time.
For convenience, why not have your car, van, minibus or motorhome serviced at the same time as your MOT?
Ask our friendly reception staff for more details.
Do you run a fleet of vehicles?
We can carry out, periodic maintenance inspections and routine safety inspections on your commercial vehicles if required.
Please ask for more details.
Why you need an MOT Test
If your vehicle is 3 years or older the law requires it has an annual safety check – the Ministry of Transport (MOT) test.
An MOT test ensures your vehicle meets the minimum safety levels required by law.
During the MOT test, the nominated tester conducts an inspection and a comprehensive series of checks around the vehicle. These include the interior and exterior, under the bonnet and underneath the vehicle.
The nominated tester is a person authorised by the Government body, Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA).
The result of each check is recorded.
If the vehicle passes, you’ll get a VT20 ‘pass’ certificate. If it fails to meet the required standard, you’ll get a VT30 ‘fail’ document instead.
Items not quite in the ‘fail’ category, but worthy of your attention are called advisories. Keep your eye on these as you’ll need to correct them in the near future.
It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is examined every 12 months. Without a current MOT certificate, you will be unable to drive your vehicle lawfully or renew your licence.
VOSA have computerised MOT testing. This means police and mobile camera units can now check remotely to see if your vehicle has a current MOT.
Motor Clinic offer an MOT reminder service. We’ll contact you just before your MOT due date to remind you that it’s imminent.
*Free retest is subject to terms and conditions: If you choose Motor Clinic to carry out any necessary repairs highlighted by the MOT Test, we will carry out a free retest.
