MOT Testing in Bletchingley and the Surrounding Surrey Area from the Friendly Local Garage in Godstone
DD Services Ltd trades from a combined garage and approved MOT testing centre in Godstone. We have qualified inspectors on our team who have the required authorisation to assess across multiple vehicle classes by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). As a driver, you have a responsibility to uphold the condition of your car or LCV, and to keep it roadworthy. The MOT test is an annual safety, roadworthiness and emissions check.
Motorists locally, including those in the nearby Bletchingley area, should know that the MOT certificate indicates your vehicle passed current MOT testing criteria at the time of the inspection. It is then down to the registered owner to keep the vehicle in a safe operational condition for the next 12 months.
Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate can result in a fine of up to £1,000.00 and could see your insurance policy invalidated.
When can I book in for the MOT test?
You are required to book in for MOT testing every 12 months, but regulations allow you to have your car or LCV inspected up to 28 days before the current expiry date. You will still be able to keep your current renewal date.
What happens if my vehicle passes the test?
If your car or LCV passes the MOT test, we will issue a pass certificate which is valid for 12 months. An approved inspector may include advisories in their report, listing items in need of repair, but which are not in a condition that would currently cause them to contravene MOT testing criteria.
What happens if my vehicle fails the test?
In the event of a test failure, motorists from all Surrey areas can have their vehicles repaired at our workshop or at the garage of their choice. If you return your car or LCV to us within a specified timeframe with the repair work completed, DD Services Ltd performs the MOT re-test without charge.
Will you alert me to future test dates?
Yes. As part of the qualifying criteria to be an approved MOT testing centre, we link into a centralised computer database which holds records on all MOT tests undertaken across the UK. When your vehicle is due its next test, we will let you know using your preferred contact method with ample time to spare.
