MOT – Weston-super-Mare

Scaurs Garage arranges Class 4 MOTs for cars and light vans, and if anything needs fixing to pass, our own team can carry out the repairs. You get one point of contact for the whole process, from booking the test to getting your car back with a fresh certificate.

When is my MOT due?

In England, Scotland, and Wales, a car needs its first MOT three years after it was first registered, and then every year after that. Your due date is on your last MOT certificate, or you can check it on the GOV.UK website using your registration number.

You can have your MOT up to a month, minus a day, before your current certificate runs out and still keep the same renewal date. Booking early gives you time to sort out any repairs without the risk of being left without a valid MOT.

What does a Class 4 MOT cover?

Class 4 is the MOT for most everyday vehicles, including cars with up to eight passenger seats and goods vehicles up to 3,000kg design gross weight. The test checks that your vehicle meets legal standards for safety and emissions, including:

• Lights, indicators, and the horn
• Brakes and their performance
• Steering and suspension
• Tyres and wheels
• Seatbelts and seats
• Windscreen, wipers, and washers
• Exhaust, fuel system, and emissions
• Mirrors, doors, and the vehicle’s body and structure

The MOT doesn’t check the condition of the engine, clutch, or gearbox, so it isn’t a substitute for regular servicing.

What happens if my car fails?

MOT faults are graded as minor, major, or dangerous. Minor faults are recorded but don’t cause a fail, while major and dangerous ones do. A car with a dangerous fault can’t be driven until it’s repaired.

If your car fails, we’ll explain what each fault means in plain English and what’s needed to fix it. Because we’re a repair garage, we can usually put things right ourselves. We’ll also talk you through any advisories, the items that pass for now but may need attention soon, so you can plan ahead.

Fantastic experience with Scaurs Garage. I brought my Audi S6 in for a full service, including some extra work and an MOT, and they were brilliant from start to finish. They ended up needing to take on some extra tasks, and they handled it effortlessly with absolutely no fuss. What really stood out was their communication they kept me completely in the loop the whole time. The level of care they show for the vehicles and the follow-up aftercare are both exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a trustworthy garage!
