Londesborough Street Auto Service Centre is a DVSA-approved MOT test centre in Hull, testing class 4 (cars and light vans up to 3,000kg).
Hull has 165 MOT test centres listed in the UK MOT Station Directory. See all MOT stations in Hull.
The maximum fee a garage can charge is set by the government: £54.85 for a car (class 4) and £29.65 for a motorcycle. Many garages charge less than the cap, so it is worth comparing local prices. There is no VAT on MOT test fees.
Most cars need their first MOT three years after registration, and a new test every year after that. You can have the test up to a month (minus a day) before your current certificate expires and keep the same renewal date.
The MOT checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards: brakes, lights, tyres and wheels, seatbelts, windscreen and wipers, mirrors, horn, steering and suspension, exhaust and emissions, and the vehicle structure. It does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox.
You will receive a refusal certificate (VT30) listing the failure points. If the defects are repaired and the vehicle is retested at the same test centre within 10 working days, a partial retest is usually free or reduced in cost.
No — driving without a valid MOT can lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and may invalidate your insurance. The only exceptions are driving to a pre-booked MOT appointment or to a garage for repairs required by a failed test.
