MOT – Class 4 – the North East of England

Class 4 is the most common type of MOT, covering cars, small vans, taxis, and most standard vehicles up to 3,000kg gross weight. If you drive a regular passenger vehicle, this is almost certainly the MOT you need. North East Auto Services carry out Class 4 MOT tests at every one of our branches across the North East of England, so there’s always one close by.

Covers taxis as well as everyday cars

Taxis are tested to the same Class 4 standard as any other car, covering the same core safety and emissions checks. Depending on your local council, you may also need additional licensing checks on top of the standard MOT, so it’s worth confirming what your council requires alongside booking your Class 4 test with us.

What a Class 4 MOT checks

Our DVSA-approved testers work through a full checklist covering:

• Lights, indicators, and electrical systems
• Brakes and braking performance
• Suspension and shock absorbers
• Steering and wheel bearings
• Tyres, tread depth, and wheels
• Exhaust system and emissions
• Windscreen, wipers, and washers
• Seatbelts and safety features
• Vehicle structure and bodywork

Every check follows strict DVSA safety and emissions guidelines, so a pass means your vehicle genuinely meets the legal standard, not just the minimum needed to get through.

If your car doesn’t pass

We’ll give you a clear explanation of what’s failed and why, along with a no-obligation repair estimate. Where practical, we can carry out the work quickly on site, so getting back on the road doesn’t mean a second appointment or a long wait.

Booking and waiting made simple

Booking online takes a couple of minutes, and every branch has a comfortable waiting area with Wi-Fi if you’d rather stay while we test your car than come back later.
