MOT

When it comes time to get your vehicle’s MOT sorted out, come to Bennetts Vehicle Services.

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 let Bennetts Vehicle Services arrange your Class 4 or Class 7 MOT test. We have an in-house MOT tester who will carry out the test at a local trusted partner garage in Hereford.

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. If you’re not sure which class MOT test your vehicle needs, give us a call or pop in to 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. Bennetts Vehicle Services 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.
