DB MOT prices aren't fixed across the industry. Test centres are free to set their own price up to a government-set maximum, which means the cost of an MOT can vary noticeably depending on where you go in Stoke-on-Trent.
DB Autos MOT prices
- Class 4 MOT (most cars and passenger vehicles) — £40
- Class 7 MOT (qualifying vans and commercial vehicles up to 3,500kg) — £50
These prices cover the MOT test itself. If your vehicle needs repairs to pass, any work is quoted and explained separately, and nothing is carried out without your authorisation.
Why prices vary between garages
Test centres set their own price within the legal maximum, so cost can depend on things like location, overheads and whether a garage is trying to attract MOT customers who may also need servicing or repairs. A lower price doesn't necessarily mean a lower standard of testing, since the test itself is carried out to the same DVSA criteria wherever you go.
What's not included in the price
The MOT fee covers the test, not any repairs found to be necessary. If your car fails, DB Autos will explain what's needed and provide a separate quote for any repair work, covering areas such as brakes, exhausts and lighting.
