Are you looking for MOT for your vehicle?

MOT was first introduced in 1960 by the Ministry of Transport, now the Department Of Transport. Currently, it is governed by the DVSA in England, Scotland, and Wales.

The MOT test is performed annually to assess the safety, exhaust emissions, and roadworthiness of most vehicles over three years old in the UK.

You can visit any DVSA-approved car workshop, like Sturla Car Repairs, which provides reliable MOT assessments. Choosing Sturla Car Repairs for MOT Chatham will help you get prompt results as we have multiple MOT bays in our workshop and a team of the best testers.
