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.
Work vans, family cars and the right test class
Alongside family cars, Norton-in-the-Moors has plenty of drivers who depend on a van for their living. Knowing whether your vehicle sits in Class 4 or Class 7 matters, because the test fee differs and the booking should be right from the start. A quick check of the vehicle details saves any confusion on the day.
Our MOT test centre in Stoke-on-Trent handles both groups, so you will not be turned away for owning a van. Class 4, covering cars and smaller passenger vehicles, is £40. Class 7, for the bigger commercial vans, is £50. If something turns out to be wrong, it is described and any repair agreed with you before work starts.
A working van has its own wear points. Check the load area and rear doors close and latch properly, and see that rear lights and number plate lights are working. Clear off mud or dried-on grime from plates and lenses. Look at tyres on both axles, as loaded vehicles work them harder. Test the horn, wipers, washers and mirrors. Ensure seatbelts in the cab latch and release cleanly. Telling the team how the vehicle is used helps them keep an eye out for relevant wear. Norton-in-the-Moors is a drive of about 4 miles from the garage.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.
