We've been going to vital vehicle care for a long while. The whole family takes their cars. My Dad who has stage 4 cancer and is struggling to get around called a little while ago. As we live close by a very nice lady offered to come collect the car for an MOT and even brought the car back to my parents. We just wanted to say how much we appreciate this kind gesture. Your kindness means a lot to us. Thank you. Give this garage as much support as you can!! They have always gone above and beyond.

What If My Vehicle Fails?

If you’re unlucky this time around and your car doesn’t pass its test, we have courtesy cars available for you to use while yours is repaired and retested.

As part of our MOT testing service in Peterborough, if your car does fail, we offer a free retest if it is carried out within 10 days of the original test. We also have courtesy cars available, should you require one.

The majority of vehicles we test pass the first time. However, on occasion, it is necessary to carry out some remedial work in order to declare the car roadworthy for another year.

If this happens and your car fails its MOT test in Peterborough, we will advise you of the repairs required and provide a quote. It is then your choice whether you instruct us to proceed with the repairs.
