Why SHG?
Surbiton Hill Garage has been conducting MOT's for over 40 years, we offer a friendly service by appointment six days a week. Last year we upgraded to the new computer based MOT certificate system in line with VOSA directives.
MOT Overview
MOT tests can be carried out on your car up to one month prior to the expiry date of an existing UK MOT certificate provided that a current MOT certificate is presented to the examiner at the time of the test.
On passing the MOT test, the vehicle will receive a certificate valid from the date of expiry of your existing MOT certificate.
All UK cars 3 years old and over require a valid MOT certificate by law. The contents and standards required are set by the Vehicle Inspectorate.
What is involved?
The annual testing of your vehicle to ensure it meets minimum road safety standards. You may view the MOT test if you wish. It will be carried out by a Vehicle Inspectorate approved tester, SHG has several of these trained testers. An assistant is essential for proper conduct of the MOT test and once again SHG has these trained assistants. If our client chooses to view the MOT test you must not interrupt or distract the tester during the inspection.
An MOT Certificate relates only to the condition of testable items at the time of the test. It should not be regarded as evidence of the condition of the items tested at any other time nor should it be taken as evidence of the general mechanical condition of the vehicle.
