MOT Failure Repair Work
If your car has failed its MOT, Oxbys Autos can help with clear repair advice and practical quotes. We repair many common MOT failure items including worn brakes, damaged tyres, suspension play, exhaust leaks, lighting faults, emissions problems, warning lights and general safety defects.
Send us a photo of your MOT failure sheet or bring it to our Chesterfield garage. We will explain which items need repairing for a pass, which items are advisories, and what work should be prioritised if the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
Dangerous, Major & Minor MOT Defects
MOT failures can include dangerous, major and minor defects. Dangerous defects mean the vehicle should not be driven until repaired. Major defects must be fixed before the vehicle can pass. Minor defects and advisories are warnings that something may need attention soon. We help you understand the report so the repair plan is clear.
