Now that you understand what an Class 7 MOT is and why it’s essential for your vehicle’s safety and legality, don’t let your MOT expire!

If this is your vehicle’s very first MOT, you’ll need to bring along the V5C vehicle registration certificate (the log book) when you visit our garage. This document is also necessary if your vehicle has had a change of registration plate since its last MOT. In most other situations, you won’t need to bring any additional documentation for the MOT.

For everyone’s safety, we appreciate it if you could remove as much weight as possible from the vehicle before bringing it in for the MOT. This helps to ensure the ramps aren’t overloaded and can also prevent any issues that might lead to a failed MOT due to excess weight.

The tests done in a Class 7 MOT are quite similar to those in a Class 4 MOT, but they go a bit deeper for larger vehicles. You’ll find extra checks in a Class 7 test, including assessments of whether the tyres can handle the additional weight and efficiency tests for the brakes to ensure added safety.
