MOT – Exeter

As motorists, we often complain about the need to get an MOT done on our vehicles, but in reality, we should all appreciate that this really is a worthwhile obligation.

It means that every vehicle on the road should be in a safe, roadworthy condition and not polluting the environment around us with harmful emissions. Foxhayes Garage is a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) approved MOT testing station capable of carrying out MOT tests at our Exeter workshop.

Naturally, we are regulated, but we are also extremely customer-focused, and our aim is to offer sound advice as well as a high standard of service quality. We will be pleased to carry out a pre-MOT inspection and undertake any preparation work should your vehicle show any signs it might fail the test. And in cases where pre-inspections are not requested, we are able to provide a full range of competitively priced post-test repair services to ensure your vehicle passes its MOT re-test and gets you legally back on the road.

An MOT is a legal requirement, but it’s also a useful annual snapshot of your vehicle’s roadworthiness. At Foxhayes Garage, we carry out MOT testing on an automated test lane – the same setup used by franchised dealerships – giving you a thorough, accurate test carried out efficiently and without unnecessary delay.

What the MOT covers

The MOT checks a defined range of safety and emissions-related items, including:

• Brakes – performance and condition
• Lights and electrical systems
• Steering and suspension
• Tyres – condition and tread depth
• Seatbelts and restraint systems
• Exhaust emissions
• Bodywork and structure – where relevant to safety
• Windscreen, wipers, and washers

If your vehicle fails

We’ll explain exactly what failed and why, with a clear quote for any remedial work before anything is touched. Where repairs are straightforward, we can often carry them out the same day and retest promptly. There’s no pressure to use us for the repairs, though most of our customers do.

Pre-MOT checks

If you’d like us to check your vehicle over before the test, we’re happy to do so. Catching an obvious issue beforehand can save the cost of a retest.
