If your annual MOT is coming up and you want a straightforward, honest experience, Kent Garage Services delivers exactly that. With 17 years of industry expertise, we provide clear, accurate MOT tests for Class 4, 5 and 7 vehicles. Our team focuses on safety, transparency and customer confidence, so you always know where your vehicle stands and what needs attention.
We work on all makes and models, using up to date equipment to keep standards high and the process stress free. If anything fails your test, we will talk through the reason in simple terms and help you plan the repair without pressure.
Class 4 MOT Testing
Most drivers fall into the Class 4 category. This includes standard cars, small vans and many family vehicles. Our technicians check all key safety areas, making sure your vehicle continues to meet legal requirements.
A Class 4 MOT covers:
- Lights, indicators and electrics
- Tyres, wheels and tread depth
- Brakes and braking performance
- Steering and suspension components
- Exhaust system and emissions
- Bodywork, doors, mirrors and seatbelts
You will receive a clear explanation of any findings, with practical advice if repairs are needed.
Class 5 MOT Testing
If you drive a larger passenger vehicle such as a minibus, you may need a Class 5 MOT. These require thorough checks due to extra seating and higher passenger capacity.
During a Class 5 MOT, we inspect:
- Safety restraints and seating
- Braking efficiency under load
- Structural integrity and corrosion
- Tyres, wheels and underbody condition
- Emissions and exhaust function
Our team carries out these tests carefully and consistently to make sure your vehicle stays compliant and safe for the road.
Class 7 MOT Testing
Heavier vans and commercial vehicles weighing between 3,000kg and 3,500kg fall under Class 7. These vehicles require a more in depth examination due to their size and usage.
A Class 7 MOT includes:
- Load‑bearing structure and chassis condition
- Brake performance and weight compliance
- Steering, suspension and axle inspections
- Tyres, wheels and tread condition
- Lighting, wipers and visibility checks
You will get straightforward, honest feedback and clear recommendations if anything requires attention.
What Happens If Your Vehicle Fails?
If your vehicle does not pass its MOT, we will explain the reason without technical jargon. You will know exactly what failed, why it matters and what the options are. We can also carry out the necessary repairs and complete a free retest within the required timeframe.
Our aim is to make the process simple, fair and fully transparent.
