MOT Testing in Coatbridge – Book your MOT with Shawhead Auto Centre
At Shawhead Auto Centre, we offer DVSA-approved MOT testing for cars and light vehicles.
Your MOT test is an essential annual check to ensure your vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required by law.
All MOTs are carried out by qualified, Vehicle Inspectorate-approved testers.
It’s important to understand that an MOT certificate only reflects the condition of testable items at the time of the test. It’s not a guarantee of the vehicle’s condition at any point after the test, nor a full assessment of its overall mechanical health.

What happens if your vehicle fails its MOT test?
If your car doesn’t pass its MOT, don’t worry. You’ll have 10 working days to have the necessary repairs carried out and bring the vehicle back to us for a free retest. If you return after 10 working days, a full test and fee will apply.
You’re welcome to have any repairs done by us – we’ll always offer you a fair and transparent quote – or you can choose to use another garage or even make the repairs yourself, as long as the work is completed to the correct standard.
