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.
Weekend cars, low mileage and what sitting still can hide
Trentham is a leafy corner of the area, well known for its gardens, and many drivers there use their cars for weekend outings rather than daily slogs. A low-mileage car feels like it should sail through, but vehicles that stand for long stretches can pick up flat patches on tyres, tired wiper blades and weak bulbs.
For Trentham drivers, DB Autos runs MOT tests for cars at £40 and larger vans in Class 7 at £50. You can book at dbautosmottest.co.uk or by phone. We carry out the test, take you through anything found and set out what repairs would involve before we do a thing. Nothing extra happens unless you agree to it.
If your car spends its week on the drive, give it a thorough look before the test. Turn the ignition on and watch the dashboard lamps come and go. Check every light, including the reversing light. Rubber parts such as wiper blades can perish when a car sits, so lift them and run a finger along the edge. Look at the tyre sidewalls for cracking or flat spots. Take it for a short drive so it is properly warm when you arrive. The Salem Street garage is 4 miles from Trentham, an easy drive.
We test against the required MOT standards and explain the result plainly.

Yes. An MOT depends on the age of the vehicle, not how far it has travelled. Low mileage can still leave worn rubber, tired bulbs and tyre damage that the test will pick up. It is a quick job and the confirmation arrives straight away.
Start with the tyres, wiper blades, washer fluid and every bulb. Check the dashboard for lights that stay on. If anything looks wrong, mention it when you book. Spotting a tired bulb at home saves explanation later, and helps the day go smoothly.
Yes, DB Autos can carry out a service together with the MOT. The team explains what each involves and the work is only done once you agree. Anything advised can be left alone if you prefer, as the choice is always yours.
