  Excellent service from start to finish. Darren diagnosed and fixed a tricky issue with my wing mirror that could easily have become an expensive replacement, but instead he identified the actual fault and repaired it swiftly. Communication was clear throughout and the price was very fair. A great garage that I trust and recommend without hesitation.

  Had a warning fault light come up on a lease vehicle that was due back the next working day. This friendly garage saw me within 15 minutes of my call to run a quick diagnostic and give advice. Very happy customer!

  I would highly recommend this garage for excellent customer service, for looking at my car at short notice, giving me a full explanation of work that was required and work that had been completed and offering a follow-up check of my car, thank you so much. I will definitely be returning, in the future if I need work on my car ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  A big thank you to Darren today. Turned up last minute with a flat tyre and a dodgy wheel bolt that wouldn’t come off. He dropped what he was doing on a busy saturday morning and made sure he got the wheel off and sourced a tyre for me within an hour. Absolute life saver, thank you Darren 👍🏻

Class 4 MOTs for All Makes & Models

Our professional technicians at Browns Garage have many year’s experience carrying out MOTs for all makes and manufacturers of cars including Audi, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Land Rover, Mazda, Mini, Seat, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and more. Our team can help with MOT testing for all makes & models, all ages including classics and supercars for Haywards Heath and the surrounding areas.

DVSA Approved MOT Testing Station in Haywards Heath

Our mechanics ensure that your vehicle is mechanically safe to drive and road legal by putting it through an MOT test. The MOT test is an annual vehicle safety check designed to assess vehicles through a series of checks. It applies to all vehicles that have been registered for three years or more.

What happens if my car fails its MOT?

If your vehicle fails its MOT, you’ll receive a report outlining the reasons for failure along with any advisory items. Our team will talk you through the results in plain English and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for any work required. In most cases, we can carry out repairs quickly and arrange a retest to get you safely back on the road.

How long does an MOT take?

An MOT test usually takes between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on your vehicle and its condition. At our Haywards Heath garage, we aim to complete tests promptly and can often offer same-day appointments. If any issues are identified, we’ll explain them clearly and advise on the next steps before carrying out any repairs.

Can I drive my car if it fails its MOT?

If your MOT has expired and your car fails, you cannot legally drive it unless you are going to a pre-booked MOT appointment. If the current MOT is still valid, you may be able to drive it unless a dangerous fault has been identified. We always recommend resolving any issues as soon as possible to avoid safety risks.

When should I book my MOT?

You can book your MOT up to one month before the expiry date and still retain the same renewal date for the following year. Booking early gives you time to deal with any potential issues without pressure. We recommend securing your slot in advance, especially during busy periods.

What does an MOT test check?

An MOT test covers key safety and environmental components including brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension and emissions. It ensures your vehicle meets the minimum legal standards for road use. While it doesn’t replace regular servicing, it plays an important role in keeping your car safe and roadworthy.

Modern vehicles must also comply with emissions standards, which we test here at Brown’s Garage. As a general guide, newer vehicles are subject to stricter emissions thresholds, so it is worth ensuring your car is in good running order before your test. Contact us to book your MOT today.
