mOT FAQS

When does my car need an MOT?

Everyone who uses a vehicle on the road must keep it in a roadworthy condition. The MOT test checks that vehicles meet road safety and environmental standards. The first MOT test for a vehicle is required when it’s three years old.

What’s not covered in my MOT?

The MOT certificate confirms that at the time of the test, without dismantling it, the vehicle met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by law. It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the length of time the certificate is valid. The MOT certificate is also no guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your vehicle. The test doesn’t cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox.

Why choose Faulds for my MOT?

Faulds is a certified MOT testing station and Authorised Examiner (AE) in Dumfries meaning we are verified by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

What’s the difference between an MOT and a service?

An MOT is a mandatory test of your vehicle’s roadworthiness; a service follows detailed guidelines, set out by the vehicle manufacturer, and is designed to keep your car in peak condition throughout the year.

Broken spring late Friday. Back on the road just after lunch on Saturday. Well done and thanks to Keith and the team. Much appreciated squeezing me in.

Brilliant service, used the garage for years, wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else, highly recommended.

K. Black

First class service, popped in today with a friend who is visiting and had a problem with her car. They told us to leave the car and they would try and get time to look at it. An hour later they called to say they’d fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

L Davies

Fantastic, professionally operated garage. Great service.

M. McAuley

Absolutely first rate garage. Keith was really helpful in the MOT of our camper van and went to a big effort to turn us around. What a first class workshop as well. Won't hesitate to recommend.
