The weekend car that sits for days at a time
Not every car in Baddeley Green is used daily. Some are kept for weekend trips, days out or the odd longer journey, and spend most of the week parked. That pattern brings its own problems: tyres that lose pressure, batteries that weaken, screenwash that dries up. The MOT date still arrives on time, though, whatever the odometer says.
At DB Autos, Baddeley Green drivers pay £40 for a Class 4 test and £50 for Class 7, at our centre in Stoke-on-Trent. If the car needs work afterwards, you hear what is involved, and repair work is carried out only once you give the nod. Booking is possible online or by phone, whichever you find easier.
After a stretch of sitting still, a leisure car deserves a gentle recheck. Inflate the tyres to the right pressures and look for flat spots or cracks. Start the engine and watch whether warning lights go out as they should. Try the lights, indicators, wipers and washers, topping up screenwash if it is low. Brakes can develop surface rust when idle, so notice any odd noises on your first few stops. A light, low-mileage car also benefits from a service. Baddeley Green is about 5 miles from our site.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.

Generally, yes: a valid MOT is needed for a vehicle used on the road, whatever its mileage. Cars that sit still can still develop faults, so a check beforehand is wise, even if the odometer hardly moves.
Use dbautosmottest.co.uk or call 01782 844320. Booking ahead of expiry means any repairs can be arranged without pressure, which matters for a car you only use now and then, and may not notice failing, since it so rarely gets driven.
Yes, an MOT can be done alongside a service. For a car kept for weekends, a service can look at fluids, brakes and other items that are affected by long periods of standing still on the drive or kerb.
