MOT – Taunton

Why do I need an MOT?

Any vehicle over 3 years old is required to have an annual safety check, which is called an MOT test (Ministry of Transport test). This test checks that the vehicle meets the standard legal safety levels.

At The Motor Company, Taunton, we have a team of approved MOT testers who carry out a series of checks on your vehicle, looking inside, outside, under the bonnet and underneath the vehicle. If your vehicle passes all the checks, we can issue a pass certificate. There may also be “advisory” items, which means that you need to keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, not all vehicles pass the MOT test, but thankfully, we can carry out any repairs that are required and then retest your vehicle and get you safely back on the road.

During our holiday, our motorhome's water pump broke down. Thankfully the team at this shop took great care of us. They were highly professional, resolved the issue perfectly, faster than expected, and charged a very fair price. They also performed a complimentary check of the vehicle. Fantastic service from start to finish!

I have just experienced the very best of customer service you can get - my car was rather poorly - everything was explained patiently and in terms I could understand: it was repaired there and then
Thank you so much - I shall be back for servicing and MOT.

Just purchased a Nissan Qashqai. Our sales rep David was fantastic, very helpful in explaining all the necessary information about the car and legal requirements. Best experience we've had with dealing with buying a new motor. They rectified any minor problems with the car. Highly recommend

I was on my way to London when my engine light came on. As I was near Taunton I googled the nearest Mitsubishi garage and The Motor Company came up. I phoned and, although they didn’t really have anyone available, they told me to come to have it checked to see if I could continue with my journey. They found a fault which didn’t allow me to safely continue with my travels which wasn’t the news I had hoped for but they didn’t charge me. Great service! Thank you 😃

I purchased a car at The Motor Company recently with Karl, the service was excellent, very thorough and I did not feel rushed in anyway to make the purchase. I was given the appropriate information when needed and found the whole process extremely laid back and enjoyable. Karl was extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend the Motor Company Taunton to friends and family and I will be using there services going forward. Many thanks again! Rachel
