What happens during an MOT
When your car reaches 3 years old an MOT every 12 months is compulsory. An MOT test exists to make sure your car is safe to drive, which can help prevent accidents and breakdowns. Also the technician may identify small problems while conducting the MOT, allowing you to minimise your ongoing maintenance costs.
At Severn Point Automotive we can arrange MOT tests on all cars, vans and motorcycles that fall into Class 1,2,4 or 7 and our aim is to get your vehicle passed with a new MOT on the same day.
What Happens if Your Car Fails the Test?
In the unfortunate event your vehicle fails the MOT we will call you and quote you for any repairs required. If we cannot get your vehicle repaired on the same day our aim will be to get it completed in a timely manner with the least amount of inconvenience.
Is it cheaper to get a MOT and a service done at the same time?
We recommend booking your MOT and Service together to same time to save cost and the amount of time you are without your vehicle. On completion of all work you will receive an itemised invoice of all works completed to keep your vehicles history up to date.
How to check to see if your car needs an Mot
Find out if a vehicle has an MOT certificate and when it runs out. You’ll need the vehicle’s registration number (number plate). You can check whether your car is due an MOT by clicking this link https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Great garage can’t recommend highly enough.
Took my 1968 Daimler for a tune up and a few leaks and it’s come back like a new car, drive’s so much better and was very competitive price wise. Great garage can’t recommend highly enough.

I am so impressed with Graham and the team at Severnpoint. They recently worked on my Qashqai and 35 year old VW camper van after my son recommended them. I find the staff welcoming and professional and the bills were a lot less than I expected on both vehicles. They go above and beyond to help out and despite them not being very local to me, I won’t go anywhere else now. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Despite these days living just over an hour from Graham, Mike and the team at Severn Point Automotive we’d not use or trust anyone else with our vehicle fleet, such a professional set up who know exactly what they are doing from old school classics to the latest EV vehicles they are equipped to assist, you can trust them not to overcharge you too & there has always been a loan car available to keep us on the road. Can’t recommend them highly enough, keep up the great work team!! (Ps due another service soon, do I get a discount for this review 😉)
