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.
Hilltop weather, wipers and being seen in poor visibility
Mow Cop is a hilltop village on the Cheshire border, and its exposed position means drivers there often meet wind, rain and low cloud before the valley does. When visibility drops, working lights, good wipers and clear glass matter even more, which makes them ideal items to check before your MOT. Mow Cop drivers are welcome to ask the team for a plain summary.
From Mow Cop, book your MOT with DB Autos at dbautosmottest.co.uk or by phone. Cars are £40 in Class 4, and larger vans £50 in Class 7. We carry out the test, explain what we find, and discuss any repairs before beginning them. You remain in control of what work goes ahead. Feel free to ask the team to repeat any point you did not follow.
Climbing and descending steep hills tests the whole car, so keep a close eye on how it behaves. Examine the tyres carefully, as grip is a daily concern. Try every light on a dull day and ask someone to confirm fog lamps work. Replace tired wiper blades before they let you down in heavy rain. Fill the washer bottle. Check the horn and mirrors. Anything that feels different on the hill, from steering to braking, is worth telling the team. Mow Cop is 7 miles from the Salem Street garage.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.
