Car & Van MOT Testing – Town

When it comes time to get your vehicle’s MOT sorted out, come to GSO Test Garage.

It’s important to get your car or van’s MOT test performed by a trusted garage, but it can be hard to know which one to use. Save yourself the worry and bring your vehicle to GSO Test Garage for its Class 4 or Class 7 MOT test. We have a sophisticated service centre in Town, fully equipped for MOT Testing. But if you can’t get to us, don’t worry. We provide a convenient collection & delivery service within 5 miles of our service centre; just let us know when booking if you’d like to take advantage of this service.

Which MOT Class is my vehicle?

Most vehicles will need a Class 4 MOT test. This covers most private cars and vans up to 3t. Vans over 3t will need a Class 7 MOT test and these need to be performed at a workshop with the appropriate bay, such as GSO Test Garage. If you’re not sure which class MOT test your vehicle needs, give us a call or pop into our workshop and we’ll be happy to advise.

What if my vehicle doesn’t pass?

We hope your vehicle passes with flying colours, but sometimes there are minor or advisory problems or even major or dangerous issues. If they are major or dangerous, then you may not be able to drive your vehicle away until it’s repaired as it’s not deemed safe for you or other road users. Once the repairs have been made and your vehicle has passed its MOT test, you’ll be able to drive away with peace of mind that your vehicle is running smoothly and that you’ll get from A to B and beyond.

Fortunately, major/dangerous advisories are rare. More often, cars and vans will have minor advisories, which are things that should be looked at but don’t need fixing immediately. GSO Test Garage can also perform these repairs for you at a time to suit you.

Will my car still need a service?

An MOT test is not a substitute for a service as it doesn’t cover all the same checks and doesn’t include things like top-ups and repairs. It’s often more economical and time-saving to book your vehicle in for a service at the same time. That way we can alert you to any issues that might arise before the MOT test is performed, so you can get them sorted and save a possible re-test. It can also save you a visit to the garage later on.

At GSO Test Garage, we take pride in our trusted affiliations, which reflect our commitment to quality and reliability. As an RAC Approved Garage, we provide expert repairs and dependable service. We partner with Fleet Assist for seamless fleet management and Pagid for high-quality braking components, and with flexible payment options through Clearpay, we make vehicle care more accessible.
