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.

Serving Birmingham and the West Midlands

Birmingham has DVSA test stations at several locations across the city, and our Stechford workshop is ideally placed for operators needing to prepare their vehicles for test. We regularly pre-test vehicles for operators from Erdington, Aston, Saltley, Nechells and Castle Bromwich, as well as fleets coming in from Solihull, Walsall, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton and Coventry ahead of their annual test dates.
