Service Overview

Booking an MOT test without checking the vehicle first often results in frustrating failures, lost re-test fees, and high repair quotes from testing stations. Over a third of vehicle MOT failures are caused by basic defects like blown bulbs, torn wiper blades, worn tyres, or simple fluid issues.

Our Pre-MOT Inspection gives you complete peace of mind. We execute a thorough MOT-style checklist at your location, replacing common failure parts immediately and alerting you to any suspension, brake, or structural issues before you present the car to the testing center.

Common Symptoms of Failure

Identify early warning signs that your vehicle requires this service immediately to avoid safety risks or costly engine damage:

• Your MOT test expiry date is approaching within the next 30 days.
• You have visible dashboard warning lights or suspect minor defects.
• The vehicle has been parked or unused for several months.
• You want to check tyre thread depths and light operation before the test.

Our Step-by-Step Diagnostic & Repair Process

All FairFix mobile mechanic work is executed to exact manufacturer specifications. Here is how we complete this job at your location:

Lighting & Visibility check

We test headlights, high beams, indicators, brake lights, number plate lights, wipers, and windscreen washer operations.

Tyre & Wheel Check

All tyres (including the spare) are examined for minimum legal tread depth (1.6mm), sidewall cracks, and correct pressures.

Brake & Suspension check

We visually inspect brake pads, discs, rubber dust covers, shock absorbers, and steering play.

Fluid & Emissions Audit

Engine oil levels, brake fluid moisture, and coolant are verified, and the exhaust system is inspected for leaks.
