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.
