What Is a Class 4 MOT?

Class 4 is the most common MOT category and includes:

Cars
Small vans (up to 3,000kg gross weight)
Motorhomes
Taxis
Most passenger vehicles with up to 12 seats

During a Class 4 MOT, we check key safety and emissions components, including brakes, lights, steering, suspension, tyres, seatbelts, exhaust systems and more. If your vehicle needs repairs to pass, we explain everything clearly and offer straightforward solutions without any pressure.

Class 7 MOTs Arranged with a Trusted Partner

Class 7 MOTs apply to heavier vans and commercial vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg. While we don’t carry out Class 7 MOTs in-house, we arrange them for you through a trusted local partner garage that meets our same high standards. We handle the organisation, making the process simple and convenient.

I brought my car to Lodge Bank Garage for its MOT.
The process was straightforward and the staff were all very friendly. Jack was very professional, he explained everything to me clearly and was very helpful, making me feel reassured.
The service was completed promptly, and I felt that the team was honest and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend this garage to anyone looking for reliable service and excellent customer care. Thanks again.

This is a fantastic garage. I’ve taken my car here for its last few MOTs and the service has been great. It’s straight forward getting it booked in and the mechanics keep you updated on any work that needs doing. Really great friendly staff and overall great service, highly recommend!

Had my MOT & Service done here and couldn’t be happier. Booking was really easy and they provided a courtesy car, which was a huge help. Dropping off and picking up my car was quick and straightforward with no time wasted. The service was done to a high standard and up to manufacturer specs, and they updated my digital service record too. Great, professional garage – will definitely be back!

Always professional and know what they are doing, used them for a few years now for mine and my wife's car, I was told by Evans Halshaw who I was on a service contract with that my brakes needed doing, went to Lodge Bank and they told me nothing wrong with them and also said the timing belt was overdue so they did that, Evans Halshaw didn't mention that which could have been serious I had a further Mot a year later still no problem with brakes . The only garage I trust.
