Solo
MOT Testing
At Solo Automotive we a
have fully equipped MOT testing station that meets the current Ministry of
Transport requirements. Vehicles are initially checked on our four post
ramp for any defects likely to be hazardous whilst the car is being
driven. Provided the vehicle brakes are visually OK the car will then be
placed on a brake tester, this will determine the efficiency of the
braking system. A final check is made on the vehicle emissions to ensure
the vehicle gases that are expelled fall within acceptable limits.
