MOT Testing ST Albans - Watling Test Centre
MOT Testing at Watling Test Centre St Albans
If your vehicle is three years or older at some point in the year your car or van will require an MOT test which is a legal requirement in United Kingdom to drive your vehicle on British roads. For us it seems very strange why car and van owners seem to panic when comes time to mot their vehicle may be its because they have had bad experiences and given a list as long as your arm for repairs to be carried out before your vehicle will pass its MOT test? whats the chances the mot work is not needed. You can be arrest assured here at 'Watling Test Centre' we do no such thing at all, Our pass rate for mot tests are higher than our failure rate for vehicles what pass through our testing station over the year.
We believe the vehicle is right or wrong we don't carry out an MOT and find things just to supply our workshops with extra mechanical repairs we have no need to do that we what you to come back to us this year and every year we would like to build a personal business relationship with you, Our customers you are important to us.
Why do we have to have mot test, this question is quite easy to answer an mot test does not replace your annual service when carried out is more in-depth service and will give you 100% safety guarantee your vehicle is safe to drive.
MOT is done as a basic visual test to make sure your vehicle is safe to be on the road can you imagine you are driving down the road and you need to make an emergency stop, you stamp on your brake pedal to stop and the pedal goes straight to the floor, reason chances are you have a badly perished rubber brake hose.
This is why one should never avoid having your mot test, its all about safety for you and others around, There some limitations to this MOT testers are not allowed to remove or strip down any part of your vehicle during an mot test apart form looking at the fuel cap rubber yes strange but this is a rule we must follow, so just because your car passes it does not guarantee your vehicle is 100% safe we can only test and pass the things we can see on the day of your MOT test.
MOT test centre (mot test station) have come along way in the past couple of years one of the big changes is we have gone fully computerized every mot station in UK is linked now to the DVLA national network, this is one of the best ideas to hit the motor trade for many reasons one what comes to mind is help against car fraud IE ringing cars very easy to track a car via its mot test. car comes to mot station down south and hour later its being mot up in Scotland see the idea impossible one car being in parts of the UK and hour apart this flags up some thing very dodgy don't you think!
After a successful mot test and your vehicle passes with no faults we can then issue a pass certificate (VT20) for your vehicle at this time your vehicle will be registered as a pass instantly on national DVLA database.
If your car or van does not meet satisfactory conditions and unfortunately fails the mot test then we will have to issue a fail certificate (VT30) we will have to issue this by law its recorded again on the national database.
On the fail certificate will be a list of reasons for failure as soon as these items have been repaired you can bring the vehicle back and we can retest the vehicle again.
