Castleford has 22 MOT test stations on the official DVSA register.
19 test cars and small vans,
1 is approved for motorcycles
and 5 can test vans up to 3.5 tonnes.
By law the test itself can cost no more than £54.85 for a car — many garages charge less,
so it's worth comparing two or three before you book.
You can book an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before your current certificate runs out and keep the same renewal
date, so booking ahead costs you nothing. Bring nothing but the car — the tester looks it up by registration.
If it fails, you're entitled to a free retest at the same station within 10 working days for most repairs.
Run through our pre-test checklist first: lights, tyres and
wipers alone cause a huge share of avoidable failures.
