An MOT failure costs time and money. Our MOT preparation service for trucks and HGVs in Birmingham gives your vehicle the best possible chance of passing first time. We carry out a thorough pre-MOT inspection, identifying and repairing any issues before you attend the test station.

We check all the systems an MOT examiner will look at — brakes, steering, suspension, lights, tyres, exhaust, bodywork, fluid levels and more. Any advisory or failure items are clearly explained and, where possible, repaired during the same appointment. We want your vehicle to pass and stay on the road — that is good for you and good for us.

We carry out a full pre-test inspection of all MOT check items — brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, lights, exhaust and more — and repair any issues found before you attend the test station.
