How much is an MOT in Amersham?
The DVSA sets the most a test centre can charge for a car MOT (class 4) at £54.85. Garages can charge less. Call us on 01494 725498 for our current price.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
You'll get a list of what failed and why. We'll explain each item and give you a price to put it right. If we repair it here, we can retest it. If a fault is marked dangerous, the car shouldn't be driven until it's fixed.
Which vehicles do you test?
We test class 4 vehicles: cars and light vans. If you're not sure which class your vehicle falls into, call us and we'll tell you.
When can I get my MOT done?
You can have the test up to a month (minus a day) before your current MOT runs out and keep the same renewal date. A new car needs its first MOT at three years old. Check your due date on GOV.UK.
Can you service the car at the same time?
Yes. Choose "MOT and service" on the booking form and we'll do both in one visit. More about servicing.
