Prepare for MOT Testing
Preparing for MOT testing is crucial if you want to avoid an inspection failure and keep a vehicle roadworthy. At Crawley MOT Centre, we recommend scheduling a pre-MOT check to identify and address potential issues ahead of your test appointment. Our approved personnel thoroughly inspect your vehicle, focusing on critical areas such as brakes, lights, tyres and emissions.
By addressing these issues early, you can avoid the inconvenience and the cost of ongoing car repairs related to failed MOTs.
Regular maintenance and timely car servicing play a vital role in preparing for MOT testing too. Our servicing packages include oil changes, fluid top-ups, filter replacements and more. A proactive approach not only enhances vehicle performance for our customers in or around the Copthorne area, but it also increases the chances of passing MOT testing on the first attempt.

Our experienced technicians recommend replacing the cambelt at manufacturer-recommended intervals to prevent costly engine damage.
