Class 4 and Class 7 MOT testing from DB Autos, Salem Street, Stoke-on-Trent.
Cars and smaller passenger vehicles.
Larger vans within the Class 7 category.
Unlit lanes, dusk drives and beams that reach far enough
On country roads around Betley there are long stretches without street lighting, so your own headlamps do nearly all the work after dark. Beam quality, bulb brightness and lens condition suddenly matter a great deal. The MOT checks these items, so a dull or misaligned light is worth finding out about before the certificate expires.
At DB Autos, Betley drivers can plan a trip in advance and book an MOT. A Class 4 test costs £40; Class 7 costs £50. Anything found is explained clearly, and repairs would be done only with your agreement, never assumed. A proper conversation about the car is part of every visit, whatever the result.
Park facing a wall at dusk and switch on dipped beam, then main beam, noting whether both sides give an even pool of light. Cloudy or yellowed lenses can dull output, so look at those. Check for blown bulbs, including fog lights and number plate lights. Test the wipers and washers because winter lane driving throws up plenty of spray. Finally, review your tyres and mirrors. Betley is about 9–10 miles from the Salem Street site, so it pays to think the trip through beforehand and book a date with a margin on either side.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.

Anywhere with long unlit roads makes good lighting more important. The MOT checks bulbs, lenses and beams, so a pre-test look at home is a sensible step before you set off on the drive over.
Visit dbautosmottest.co.uk or phone the garage on 01782 844320. Allow for the longer journey when choosing a date, and book comfortably before your current certificate runs out, so that a repair does not leave you stranded without transport.
Any repairs can wait until the test is over. You hear what is needed first and the work waits for your authorisation, so nothing extra is done without your agreement, and a failed bulb is often a modest job.
