MOT – Brighton and Hove

An MOT is a legal requirement for most vehicles over three years old, but it is also a useful annual check on safety and roadworthiness. CG Auto carries out MOT testing for Class 4, Class 5, and Class 7 vehicles from its dedicated MOT bay in Portslade, with efficient turnaround times and straightforward booking.

Which class is your vehicle?

Class 4 – cars, taxis, and light vans up to 8 passenger seats

Class 5 – minibuses and larger passenger vehicles with more than 8 seats

Class 7 – goods vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg

The ability to test Class 5 and Class 7 vehicles makes CG Auto a practical choice for minibus operators, tradespeople, and small fleet operators, many of whom struggle to find local independent garages with this capability.

If your vehicle fails

If your vehicle does not pass its MOT, the team will talk you through exactly what needs to be addressed and provide a clear quote for any remedial work. Repairs can be carried out at the same workshop, avoiding the need to take your vehicle elsewhere.

Combined MOT and service

Booking an MOT alongside a service is a popular option and easy to arrange. It keeps everything in one visit and ensures your vehicle leaves in the best possible condition. Speak to the team when booking if you would like to combine the two.

As a Bosch Service centre with IMI accreditation, and 1link and ARVAL approval, CG Auto is held to recognised industry standards across everything we do, giving you confidence that your vehicle is in capable, accountable hands.
