What is an MOT Advisory?
Advisories are items that don’t cause your vehicle to fail its MOT but may need attention in the future.
They’re often early signs of wear – things like tyres, brakes, suspension components, or minor leaks.
We’ll explain advisories clearly, let you know what’s worth planning for, and help you prioritise – without pressure or upselling.
What is a Minor MOT Defect?
A minor defect means something isn’t quite right, but it’s not serious enough to fail the MOT.
The vehicle can still pass, but the issue should be addressed to prevent it becoming worse over time.
We’ll point out minor defects, explain the impact, and advise on the right time to fix them.
What is a Major MOT Failure?
A major defect means your vehicle has failed its MOT and must be repaired before it can be legally driven on the road.
These issues affect safety, emissions, or roadworthiness – for example worn brakes, suspension faults, or lighting issues.
If your car fails, we’ll talk you through the reasons, provide a clear quote, and only carry out repairs once you’re happy to proceed.
What is a Dangerous MOT Failure?
A dangerous defect means the vehicle is unsafe to drive and should not be used until repaired.
This could include serious brake faults, steering problems, or structural issues that pose an immediate risk.
Your safety comes first – we’ll explain the problem plainly and help you get the vehicle repaired so it’s safe and legal to return to the road.
