Why book an MOT?

Every car over three years old requires an annual MOT test and an MOT certificate to legally stay on the road. Miss your MOT, and you’ll risk receiving a fine, points added to your licence, or even a driving ban. But there’s more than just a legal reason to book it in.

MOTs are vital in making sure your car is roadworthy and safe for you to drive. During your test, we’ll:

  • Check your lights, mirrors, windscreen, wipers, washer bottle and other elements that affect how well you see on the road
  • Inspect key systems like steering and suspension
  • Investigate elements that are critical for your safety, like seatbelts and brakes
  • Look at the efficiency of your fuel system, and your emissions
  • Take a look at your wheels, tyres, seats and bodyworks
  • Test your horn… that’s the fun part!
It’s quick and easy to arrange a repair, service or MOT

How can I prepare for my MOT?

We’d hate for you to fail your MOT or pay out on items that you can easily address yourself at home.

Avoid unnecessary work at the garage by checking your own lightbulbs, screen wash and wipers just before your test.

Though if you’re not sure how, or you simply don’t have time, we’ll be happy to do this for you.

Overall excellent customer service from start to finish over a 6 month problematic period. We were welcomed and treated the same by all staff. No pressure to buy, just left to look around any car at our leisure. We had a initial problem in the first week with our fiat 500, which was resolved straight away, then after about 4 months we had gearbox/clutch issues and was sent to fiat to have the gearbox replaced under warranty. All issues were resolved quickly and a courtesy car was provided to us. Not pleased with the issues the car had but chequers did all they could to make it as easy as possible.

Just a quick mail to say many thanks for your assistance in getting my car seat repaired. As mentioned you did say when I bought the car if I needed help, 'call in'. I needed help, I called in and true to your word you resolved my challenge. Once again may thanks to you and Ed for organising the repair. kind regards Spike

I recently brought a Nissan juke from Chequers, and have been incredibly impressed by the level of service I received. The staff are friendly, honest and genuinely care about helping you find the perfect car. They are also involved in the community and we are lucky to have them in Lightwater! Would definitely recommend, and will look to use them in the future. Thank you to Serge & Gary who made the experience quick and easy – you guys are brilliant.

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, 5 stars just doesn’t seem enough! From the my initial call to Chequers to the moment I left them with my lovely clean new car, I felt valued, respected and confident that I was buying through a company who I could trust. I never felt pressured in any way and was looked after throughout every step of the journey. I would not hesitate to recommend Chequers and their fantastic team (particularly Gary, Sergio and Chris) to anyone wanting to buy a used car with comprehensive warranty ?.
