Larger vans within the Class 7 category.
Moorland-edge weather and a ready-for-anything car
Sitting on the edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands, Brown Edge brings its own driving conditions: exposed stretches, gradients and weather that can change quickly. A car that copes with all of that every day needs good wipers, washers, tyres and brakes, and the annual MOT gives you a useful snapshot of whether it still has them.
Brown Edge drivers can book through the website or by phone at our test centre in Stoke-on-Trent, then drive down once the date is fixed. Fees are £40 for Class 4 cars and £50 for Class 7. Afterwards, anything needing attention is put in plain terms, and repairs proceed only if you say so, never because a clipboard says they should.
Hillier roads put extra load on brakes and tyres, and damp weather shows up weak wiper blades and low washer fluid fast. Before you book, check the tread across the whole width of each tyre, not just the middle, and look for cracking in the rubber. Test the wipers on a wet screen, since a dry run can hide splitting. Misting mirrors or a fogged lens might reveal a seal problem. Take a short drive and note any pulling under braking. Brown Edge is about 5 miles from the garage, up on the Moorlands side of Stoke-on-Trent.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.

Hills put extra work on brakes and tyres, so notice any pulling, grinding or vibration when slowing down. Mention it when you book, and the examiner and mechanics can pay particular attention to those areas during the visit, which is useful on a hilly run near the Moorlands.
Choose a date through dbautosmottest.co.uk, or phone. Booking before the certificate expires gives you breathing space if a fix is suggested after the test, which matters on a moorland-edge commute, which matters on a moorland-edge commute.
No. You hear what the test found and what it would take to put right, and nothing extra is started without your authorisation at all. That is true for every single customer, whichever village they happen to travel from, hilly or not, and whatever the car.
