Kic Garage is equipped and authorised to conduct class 7 MOT in Wirral. This vehicle class includes commercial goods vehicles weighing 3,000 to 3500 kg. You can find the weight of your vehicle in the manufacturers’ handbook. The Annual MOT is required for all vehicles except private vehicles under three years old, private vehicles made before 1960, electric vehicles and tractors. Two other exceptions are hackney carriages because they’re taxed locally and law enforcement vehicles maintained in their authorised garage. Not all MOT garages have the space to conduct class 7 vehicles because these commercial vehicles are larger and need more spacious bays for testing. We have designated class 7 MOT lanes. If you need testing for your fleet of class 7 vehicles, we can schedule each as it becomes due.
We know many people procrastinate getting their MOT and continue to drive on an expired certificate. In Wirral, a class 7 MOT must be completed as it is particularly dangerous for commercial vehicles not to as the violation could interfere with your business and therefore your business reputation. Even if you know your vehicle is road worthy, procrastination could result in a penalty up to £1,000. An accident could happen at any time causing damage to your own vehicle and that of another. Most insurance companies will not pay out if your vehicle MOT certificate is expired. That leaves you without a work vehicle and maybe liable for damages to others vehicles. It’s not worth the risk.
If you maintain your vehicle throughout the year, likely you will pass the class 7 MOT in Wirral.
