We want your vehicle to pass the MOT Boston fast and at the first testing to avoid any hassle and extra costs for you.

MOT test results

Without defects: Congratulations, your vehicle is in perfect condition and you will get the new MOT certificate

For minor deficiencies:

In case our tester has found a few minor flaws like for example a slightly scratched mirror or a defect light bulb etc. your vehicle will still get a pass certificate with a so called "Advisory note" attached. This notice tells you which things will need fixing shortly.They give notice of things that will eventually need fixing on your car. A follow-up test is not necessary, but it is strongly advised by the tester to get these issues sorted as soon as possible, for your own and your passenger's safety. This would also avoid any warnings in case of a traffic control.

Significant deficiencies:

If our tester finds significant defects, you will not receive a MOT certificate. These deficiencies must be rectified immediately as the traffic safety of the vehicle may be impaired. The vehicle must not be driven after it has failed the test until all repairs have been carried out. The repaired vehicle must be presented for a follow-up inspection within one month.

For example, you have too little tread on the tyres, strong rust on the load bearing parts or your brake only works on one side.

After the successful re-test, you can be sure that your vehicle is safe and you will be issued with a MOT test certificate.
