MOT Testing and Servicing for Rood End Drivers

Rood End sits on the north side of Oldbury, roughly a mile and a half from our workshop on Cornwallis Road in a straight line. For most Rood End drivers the trip is a short hop through Oldbury and up towards West Bromwich — close enough that dropping the car off in the morning and getting a lift or walking back is a realistic option.

The thing Rood End customers book with us most is the annual MOT. We are a DVSA-authorised testing station, site number S004609, and we test cars in our Class 4 bay and vans up to 3,500 kg in our Class 7 bay. If your car fails, we offer a free retest within 10 working days, and because we can quote and carry out the repairs on site, most failures are sorted in one visit rather than two.

Before the test we are happy to talk through the things that commonly cause failures — tyres, bulbs, wipers, brake wear and suspension components — so you can deal with the simple ones yourself if you want to. Our aim is a straight result: we do not fail cars for things that pass, and we do not pass cars that are unsafe. Where there are advisories, we explain what they mean and how urgent they are.

Rood End roads are mostly short residential streets, and that sort of driving is hard on brakes, batteries and diesel particulate filters. If your MOT is coming up alongside a service, we can do both in the same visit so the car is only off the road once.

Call 07498 392333 or book online. We are on Cornwallis Road, Millard Industrial Estate, West Bromwich, B70 9BY, and our waiting room has hot drinks and proper seating if you would rather wait while we test.
