MOT

Walkers Tyres Leicester is an authorised MOT test centre and can carry out an MOT test on your vehicle. Your vehicle must be in a ‘roadworthy’ condition and it is the law that every vehicle over the age of 3 years old has a valid MOT. It is a legal requirement that your vehicle must be tested on an annual basis.

When does a car require an MOT?

The first MOT on a car should take place when the vehicle is 3 years old – please note that this could be different if this has 8 seats or more and/or is a taxi. An MOT tests the important elements of your vehicle to ensure they meet the minimum legal requirements, you should continue to make sure that your car maintains this standard as a minimum at all times.

Vehicle Servicing

Most manufacturers recommend that cars are serviced every 12,000 miles or year – whichever is sooner (many newer cars have longer servicing intervals and you should consult your handbook for full details).

Our comprehensive range of servicing options means that we are able to offer you a range of services from the basic oil and filter check through to an interim service and up to a full service.

Our electronic diagnostic equipment will also help us to identify and rectify any problems you may have.
