MOT’S & Servicing at Telfords

Let's talk MOTs. Every vehicle aged 3 years or more needs to clear this annual hurdle. Unlike a casual pit stop, an MOT is non-negotiable – your ride must pass this test to prove its mettle on the road. If you're wondering about your car's MOT due date, we've got you covered.

The MOT test? It's a quick but thorough assessment, usually clocking in at 45 minutes to an hour. However, it's wise to leave some extra room in your schedule, just in case.

Now, if you're thinking about getting your ride MOT-ready, Telford Automobiles has you covered. For just £45 (VAT included), we'll make sure your vehicle is in prime shape. As main dealers, we take car care seriously.

 

Breaking Down the MOT Experience

 

Here's what you need to know about the MOT test: it's more than a routine check, it's a stamp of roadworthiness. This examination covers various critical checkpoints to ensure your ride is good to go. We're talking lights, steering, brakes, tires, and much more. This includes:

  • Check condition of lamps
  • Check horn works correctly
  • Check battery
  • Check wiring for damage
  • Check towbar electric socket
  • Check condition of steering
  • Check suspension components
  • Check brakes and pedal condition
  • Check tyres for tread depth and any wear
  • Check seatbelts and attachments
  • Check body for corrosion
  • Check registration plates are eligible
  • Check VIN number is displayed
  • Check speedometer displays correctly
  • Check exhaust system for leaks
  • Check emission levels
  • Check visibility (mirrors and windscreen/wipers)

 

 

Rev Up Your Ride: Vehicle Servicing in Carlisle

In the world of automotive excellence, taking care of your prized possession is not just a suggestion; it's a commitment. Here's the lowdown on how to keep your four-wheeled companion in peak performance shape:

 

Service It Right: Minor and Major Tune-Ups

Interim Service: This is the basic tune-up, a warrior's touch. It includes an oil & filter change, fluid top-up, a vigilant check for recorded faults, and a thorough safety assessment.

Main Service: Elevate your vehicle's health with a main service. It includes everything in an interim service, plus a pollen filter.

Major Service: For the ultimate vehicle overhaul, the major service is your battle plan. It includes everything in the minor service, plus an air filter change, fuel filter replacement, brand-new spark plugs, and additional scrutiny of steering, suspension, hoses, and bearings.

 

The Power of Regular Service

While servicing your car isn't a legal requirement, it's a wise strategy to prevent minor issues from escalating into wallet-draining disasters, especially when it comes to the heart of your ride – the engine. If you're driving a machine from Telford’s, you've got the chance to lock in peace of mind with a service plan right at the time of purchase. It's a smart move.
