MOT's from Motest
Our experience
Because of the many thousands of cars and vans we test each year, we are very experienced in understanding the test and the vulnerable points on all different makes and models.
We understand classic cars, modern cars, vans, motor homes and valuable exotic’s .
For example, we are probably one of the few companies who have MOT tested not 1 but 2 ex-Le Mans Maclaren F1 racing cars, converted for road use and valued at a cool £2 million each. You can trust us to do all we can to help get you that all important pass certificate. If your car fails we will advise on the best way forward to get a pass. If its MOT repairs, you can trust us to economically repair your vehicle and get it successfully retested. Our testing standards are thorough but fair, confirmed by our strong record with VOSA.
What is an MOT?
Our experience benefits you in another way - time. That’s why we call our service express MOT.
VOSA say the national average time for an MOT is 50 minutes. Because of our familiarity with so many cars and because we test with a two person team, we are able to complete an actual MOT test on average under 30minutes. Combine this with our on-line booking system and you can be in and out of our garages in 40 minutes.
We believe we offer the most comprehensive MOT service in the South East

At Farnham and Swindon we offer full dealership service and repair on MG Rover cars from the MG Z range right back to the earlier models such as Minis, Metros and Rover 200. We have full diagnostic capability and can supply new keys with the correct codes. You will get dealership level skills but at very affordable prices. We use original MG Rover parts and have an updated kit to permanently fix head gasket problems on the K-Series engines, as fitted to many models.
There is considerable MG Rover heritage within Motest, particularly at Farnham. The workshops we occupy were part of one of the oldest Austin (which became part of BMC/BL/Austin Rover) distributors which opened nearly 100 years ago.
We have the skills to repair and service many classic cars from this manufacturer. We recently helped refurbish one of the oldest SD1 Rovers in existence belonging to Keith Adams a well known motoring writer. You will also regularly find such cars from the old BMC/BL days in for repair.
Even if you live outside the Farnham / Swindon areas, we are very experienced in MG Rover across all sites, who can call on Farnham/Swindon’s expertise and equipment if needed.
The New MINI was launched into the UK in July 2001. It has been a tremendous success both here and abroad. Now in its second incarnation, the oldest early versions are now nearly 9 years old.
Many buyers of these cars took out the BMW TLC programmes, which particularly on earlier cars will have ended. The owner then has to decide continue to use BMW MINI dealers with the high charges or an independent. The cars are not too complicated to repair but specialist knowledge and the use of original parts is desirable.
Motest Farnham & Swindon are now specialising in the New MINI for servicing, repairs and tyres.
Our labour charges are considerably less than your local MINI dealer, yet our skills and equipment are as high. Services are to manufacturer schedule, guaranteed for 12 months and your service book is stamped correctly.
We also hold an extensive stock of quality New MINI service parts such as oil and air filters, brake discs and pads.
MOTEST has specialist diagnostic equipment specific to the New MINI, which allows us to match dealer skills in identifying any faults and keeping the car in maximum tune.
Finally, many New MINI’s are fitted with Run-Flat tyres (RSC) which if driven punctured are recommended to be replaced. They are expensive, but you will find us cheaper than the dealer and probably most fast fit tyre companies. We hold key sizes and makes (Pirelli & Dunlop) as well as Avon’s new equivalent.
Our runflats start at £99 each plus fitting /balance /VAT. We also stock MINI non-runflat tyres.
So next time your New MINI needs attention, call us and get great dealer service and quality but at non-dealer prices.
Even if you live outside the Farnham / Swindon areas, we are experienced in New Mini across all sites, who can call on Farnham and Swindon’s expertise and equipment if needed.
Air Conditioning
How many times have you switched on the air conditioning on the first day there is warm weather to find warm stale air coming from the system. Your air conditioning system is like any other part the car - it needs a level of maintenance
- No matter what the vehicle age, Air-Con gas will permeate from the system
- It needs a recharge of gas & lubricant every 2 years minimum
- Bacteria build up will cause unpleasant smells
- A poorly charged system will make the engine work harder and affect fuel economy
- Lack of use over winter months can dry the seals leading to leaks, because it’s the circulating gas that lubricates the system.
Motest is installing the very latest state of the art machines that will give a make & model specific recharge. The machine will extract the old refrigerant, oil and moisture, then recharge it, as well as replenishing the oil.
An effective bacteria removal service also available.
These new machines are currently installed at our Farnham & New Malden branches
- Full air conditioning recharge - £49 inc. VAT
- Bacteria removal service - £19 inc. VAT
