UKMOTs is a new, minimalist, no-frills and no-nonsense business. We provide all you need. Full MOT tests and pre-MOT tests at competitive prices. Nothing more. Or less. So we're not tied to a repair business and we have no vested interest whatsoever in your vehicle failing. That's the best way to ensure each test is impartial.
Yes UKMOTs only started trading in 2015. But the owner has been in the business for years. And a large extended family are all also running several MOT stations and garages in this region. So we know exactly what we’re doing. We can test most vehicles up to 3,500kg (Class 7).
Why not give us a call on 01582 456 455 or 07931 303887.
UKMOTs is a dedicated MOT testing station in Luton (with ‘MOT’ being a reference to the old Ministry of Transport).
* DVSA is the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, which in April 2014 replaced both the British Government’s Department for Transport and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency. You need a current MOT certificate from the DVSA or you cannot get tax or insurance. If you lack even one of these three items then operation of the vehicle is usually illegal. The MOT only covers the vehicle at the time of its test and is no guarantee of the ongoing roadworthiness for which owners and users remain responsible, nor is it any substitute for regular maintenance. If you need more information the DVSA site is at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-standards-agency.
#All reasonable care will be taken to secure and monitor your vehicles. However, all vehicles and their contents are left entirely at the owner's risk. Management do not accept responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage to vehicles or their contents.
UKMOTs' owner has been in the business for years so we know exactly what we’re doing.
We’re in Luton but we can collect vehicles within a 5-mile radius (as defined by sat-nav) free of charge.
You only need to bring your vehicle and payment. No paperwork. All data is now on the DVSA’s computer records
Our MOTs are usually completed within 30 minutes subject to arrival at pre-booked times (please arrive early!)
We can sometimes book vehicles in at short notice, and try to do so.
Refreshments are available whilst you wait and watch from our viewing area.
We only run pre-defined DVSA* tests.
We don’t do repairs, so we are impartial and have nothing to gain by failing vehicles.
That said we will warn you, before a test, if we’ve noticed something obvious that’s easily fixed. And such warnings mean our pass-rate will be higher.
If we agree that you need a repair to get a pass then we can, on request, recommend mechanics we know.
If your vehicle fails we’ll retest it, free of charge, within 10 working days (as long as you have had the recommended work done).
We also do partial re-tests at reduced rates, especially when failures have been minor.
Vehicles should be collected promptly but, in the meantime, we have an off-road parking area that is monitored.#
We test class 4 and 7 vehicles. See below for more details and the main items we look at when testing vehicles.
*DGW – Design Gross Weight – is the maximum fully-loaded weight at which the vehicle was designed to operate. The DGW is normally found on a plate fixed to the vehicle by the manufacturer.
