Most MOT fails are fixable on the driveway in a single visit — brake pads, suspension links, bulbs, wipers and the common emissions advisories. Drova reads the fail sheet, quotes the repair before any work, and gets you ready for the free retest within 10 working days.
We don't do MOTs themselves — those legally need a VTS test station. But the work that fails MOTs (brakes, suspension links, ball joints, coil springs, bulbs, wipers, emissions, ball joints, drop links) is exactly what mobile mechanics handle best.
Pre-MOT checks before the test catch most of the cheap fails — pads, bulbs, wipers, washer fluid, number plate, screen wash — and save you a retest fee.
Pre-MOT check £39 · MOT-fail repair quoted from fail sheet. Brake pad replacement from £165, suspension links from £85 each fitted, bulbs from £15 + parts. Written quote first, no surprises.
Get the fail sheet, send Drova a photo and we'll quote the repair list. Most fails are fixable on the driveway and you can usually get the retest done within 10 working days for free.
No — MOTs legally need a VTS test station. But Drova does the pre-MOT check before the test and all the repair work that fails MOTs, on your driveway.
Inside 10 working days at the original VTS = free partial retest. Outside that = full retest fee. We work to your retest deadline.
Only if the existing MOT certificate is still in date AND the car isn't dangerous to drive. If the fail sheet shows 'dangerous' items you can't drive it on the road. Drova comes to where the car is.
We run through everything an MOT tester checks — brakes, suspension, lights, tyres, wipers, emissions readiness — before the test, so you only present once. £39 add-on to any service, or standalone.
Usually yes. Most emissions fails are a tired lambda sensor, clogged EGR or marginal DPF regen — all driveway jobs once diagnosed.
