MOT
Any vehicle registered in the UK that is over 3 years old is required by law to be tested annually. Having a MOT is different from a service and is important to note that a MOT would not involve checks on your vehicles general mechanical condition.
At Auto-Pro-Fit we want you to have an easy MOT experience.
Once we quote you your MOT price we will book your vehicle into our Vehicle Inspectorate (insert link) approved centre. A qualified Auto Pro-Fit MOT tester will then take your vehicle to our testing station where it will be throughly inspected.What we will check in your MOT

The result of your MOT can one of the following:
Pass – your vehicle has met the minimum road safety and environmental standards as required by law. You may also receive ‘minor’ or ‘advisory’ problems with your vehicle that have been picked up by the MOT test. To ensure that none of these problems worsen Auto Pro-Fit recommends these are fixed.
Fail – this means that your vehicle has failed the MOT with ‘dangerous’ or ‘major’ problems listed with your vehicle. You might not be allowed to drive until these issues have been fixed. Additionally you may also receive a further list of ‘minor’ or ‘advisory’ problems that attention must be paid to.
