MOT Testing You Can Rely On
Affordable, Transparent MOTs
Stop overpaying for your annual inspection. At Freelance Mechanics, we offer a full MOT for just £39.95, with no hidden extras. If you pass and then book next year’s MOT in advance, your rate drops to just £19.99 — and for two-car households, that discounted rate applies to both vehicles. We also offer payment flexibility — should your vehicle need repair work following its MOT, you can spread the cost over 4 months.
We comply fully with all DVSA requirements and carry out the complete test to the same high standards as any authorised testing station.
MOT Testing for Taxi's
Reliable MOT's for Taxi Companies
Keeping your taxi on the road is essential — and that starts with making sure it’s safe, legal, and running smoothly. At Freelance Mechanics, we specialise in MOTs for taxis and private hire vehicles, offering fast, reliable testing designed around your schedule.
Whether you’re an independent driver or part of a fleet, we understand that time off the road means lost income — so we aim to make your MOT as quick, convenient, and hassle-free as possible.
What’s Included in Our MOT
Your MOT covers all the essential safety, mechanical, and environmental checks required by UK law, including but not limited to:
Emissions and exhaust condition
Brake performance, balance, and condition
Steering and suspension components
Tyres, wheels, and wheel alignment
Lights, indicators, reflectors, and visibility

We offer flexible payment options to spread repair costs, so you can get road-legal again without breaking the bank.
