MOT
The MOT looks at some important items on your car to see that they meet key legal requirements at the time of test. British law stipulates that all vehicles over 3 years old that are driven or kept on a public highway have one. Here at Forest Gate we aim to make this essential test as cheap, easy and hassle free for you as possible.
Standard Vehicle MOT’s (Class 4) have a RRP of £54.80, but here at Forest Gate we don’t want you to pay that, we have created some very special internet special offers (for retail customers only) that are only available by calling 01536 400111 .
There are many certainties in life; the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening; too much chocolate makes you fat; and cars over 3 years old need an MOT. We know we have to do it every year but you can guarantee that when your car’s MOT comes round there’s always something else in your life that you need to pay out for. We know this, so we have designed the MOT for life. You simply pay a one off payment of £49.95 and as long as you book an annual service and MOT together, your future MOT’s will be FREE!
