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.
Term-time cars, first MOTs and no surprises
Keele has a large student and staff community, which means plenty of first cars, hand-me-downs and vehicles that sit unused between terms. A car like that can pick up faults while parked: flat tyres, a tired battery, dried-out washer fluid. If your certificate is due, it is worth checking these basics rather than assuming everything will be fine.
DB Autos is an MOT test centre, and we are happy to welcome Keele drivers of all ages. A Class 4 car test costs £40; larger Class 7 vehicles cost £50. For anyone new to all this, the process and the results are explained properly, and repairs only go ahead once you have said yes.
If you have only recently bought your car, or it was lent to you by family, read the paperwork and look closely at the basics first. Check that both number plates are clean, secure and legible. Check the horn sounds, the seatbelts latch and release smoothly, and the mirrors are firmly fixed with intact glass. Top up screenwash, because a car that has sat unused may well be dry. Look at every tyre, including the one you never inspect. Reaching the Salem Street garage from Keele means about 5 miles, so a single booking can slot in around lectures or a shift.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.

A standard car or smaller passenger vehicle is Class 4, priced at £40. Class 7 for larger vans is £50. Whether you are a student or a member of staff the figure is identical, and any repair is agreed separately afterwards.
Yes, an MOT can be carried out together with a service. If your car sits parked for long spells between terms, a service check is a sensible addition. Say so on booking and both jobs will be planned together.
