🚦 Mobile MOT Preparation in Burton upon Trent

Worried about putting your car through its MOT? Let the monkey give it a proper check first.

Twisted Monkey Garage provides mobile pre-MOT checks at your home or workplace across Burton upon Trent and the surrounding area.

I’ll inspect the items most commonly responsible for MOT failures, explain anything that needs attention and help you get the vehicle ready for its test.

Please note: this is an MOT preparation check—not the official MOT test.

🔍 What Does a Pre-MOT Check Cover?

Your vehicle will be checked for visible problems affecting common MOT inspection areas, including:

Lights and indicators
Tyres and tread depth
Visible brake condition
Steering and suspension components
Exhaust condition
Windscreen, wipers and washers
Seatbelts
Horn and mirrors
Registration plates
Fluid leaks
Dashboard warning lights
General under-bonnet condition

If a warning light or suspected electronic fault needs further investigation, a separate diagnostic assessment may be recommended.

What a Mobile Pre-MOT Check Cannot Do

A pre-MOT inspection can identify many common problems, but it is not the same as the official test performed by an authorised MOT testing station.

Specialist testing equipment is required to accurately assess areas such as brake efficiency and exhaust emissions. Because the final decision rests with the MOT tester, no pre-MOT inspection can guarantee a pass.

What it can do is reduce the chance of avoidable failures and give you time to deal with visible problems before test day.

🐒 What Happens If I Find a Problem?

I’ll explain:

What I’ve found
Whether it is likely to affect the MOT
How urgently it should be addressed
What the repair is likely to involve

Where suitable, I may be able to complete the repair at your location. You’ll receive a clear quotation first, and no additional work will be carried out without your approval.
