Booked our car in for an MOT and service followed by some remedial work on the brakes and tyres. Both appointments went well, everything done as they said they would, good communication

Brilliant service, friendly, efficient and communicative. Fixed the problem, serviced and MOT’d our van and went above and beyond to help us out and keep us in the loop as we thought it was going to be a write-off. Highly recommend! Thank you all the team at Forge

Great experience getting my car MOT’d here! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly. Nothing was too much hassle, and booking was easy to fit around my work schedule. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs
MOT questions, answered
Which MOT class does my vehicle need?
Most cars and smaller vans need a Class 4 MOT. Vans with a design gross weight over 3,000kg (up to 3,500kg) need Class 7, and minibuses with 13 or more passenger seats need Class 5. Enter your registration when you book and we’ll offer the test your vehicle’s record says it needs.
How much is an MOT?
Class 4 £49.95, Class 5 £59.55, Class 7 £58.60. The DVSA sets a maximum fee for every class, and our prices are at or below it. The fee is for the test itself, whatever the result.
How early can I get my MOT done?
Up to a month (minus a day) before your current MOT runs out — and you keep the same renewal date. Not sure when yours is due? Use our free MOT check.
How long does an MOT take?
Most MOT tests take around an hour. Larger vehicles can take a little longer.
What happens if my vehicle fails?
You’ll get a refusal of an MOT certificate listing each defect, and we’ll talk you through them. You can drive the vehicle away only if your old MOT is still valid and nothing was marked ‘dangerous’ — otherwise it needs repairing first. Retests are charged in line with the DVSA’s rules, and we’ll tell you the cost before any retest.
How do I pay?
You book online and pay at the centre when the test is done.
