DB MOT tests are split into different classes depending on the type and weight of vehicle. For most Stoke-on-Trent drivers, the choice comes down to Class 4 or Class 7, and it isn't always obvious which one applies.
Class 4 MOT
Class 4 covers most cars and a wide range of passenger vehicles. If you drive a standard car, this is almost certainly the test your vehicle requires. At DB Autos, a Class 4 MOT costs £40.
Class 7 MOT
Class 7 generally applies to goods vehicles with a design gross weight of more than 3,000kg and up to 3,500kg, subject to the vehicle's classification. This typically covers larger vans used for work. At DB Autos, a Class 7 MOT costs £50.
- Class 4: most cars and passenger vehicles — £40
- Class 7: qualifying vans, 3,000kg–3,500kg design gross weight — £50
