What's checked

What an MOT test covers

An MOT test checks your vehicle's safety and environmental standards across eight key areas. At First Class Garage in Brighton, we inspect your brakes, lights, tyres, steering, exhaust, emissions, bodywork, and seatbelts to ensure your car is roadworthy and safe to drive.

What we check

Every component tested to roadworthiness standards

We inspect brakes, lights, tyres, emissions, and more. Each check ensures your vehicle is safe and legal to drive on UK roads.

Brake testing at First Class Garage

Brakes and steering

We test brake performance, pedal feel, and steering response to confirm safe handling and stopping power.

Vehicle light testing in progress

Lights and visibility

Headlights, brake lights, indicators, and fog lights checked for brightness and function. Clear visibility is essential for safety.

Tyre tread depth inspection

Tyres and suspension

We measure tread depth and check for damage, wear, and proper suspension alignment for grip and vehicle control.

Emissions testing at First Class Garage

Emissions and exhaust

Exhaust systems checked for leaks and emissions tested to meet UK environmental standards and regulations.

Seatbelt safety check

Seatbelts and doors

Seatbelts tested for secure fastening and retraction. Door latches and hinges checked for proper operation and safety.

Vehicle undercarriage corrosion check

Bodywork and corrosion

We inspect panels, undercarriage, and structural areas for rust, corrosion, and damage that could affect roadworthiness.

Legal requirement

Your MOT is a legal must for UK drivers

Any vehicle over 3 years old must have a valid MOT certificate to be driven on UK roads. Driving without one can result in fines up to £1,000 and invalidate your insurance. First Class Garage makes staying compliant simple and affordable.
