——– Testimonial

Quotation marks
I recently had a Class 7 MOT carried out on my Ford Ranger at Hofmann’s of Henley, and I was genuinely impressed from start to finish. I hadn’t realised they catered to ‘normal’ vehicles as well, having always associated them with the high-end performance cars usually on display in their forecourt — but I’m very glad I found out they do! The workshop was spotless and clearly very well run. Sarah was fantastic — incredibly helpful and managed to squeeze me in at short notice, which I really appreciated. The whole team were friendly, professional, and made the process easy and straightforward. Highly recommend Hofmann’s, whether you’re driving something sporty or just need a trustworthy place for your everyday vehicle. I’ll definitely be back.

—— Pre-MOT Checklist

Tips to help pass your MOT 1st time

At MOT Henley on Thames, we want you to pass first time so we put together a helpful checklist of things you can check yourself before taking your car in for its MOT test.

Lights

Your lights need to all be in good working order. This includes your headlights, sidelights, indicators, brake lights and not forgetting your vehicle registration light.

Wipers

Your wipers and washers should be in a suitable condition to give you a clear view of the road ahead. If your wipers are splitting or your washer feed is blocked, this will require attention prior to your MOT.

Brakes

Make sure your braking system is in good working condition. If the car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, this may suggest a problem that requires further attention before you take your MOT

Tyres

Your tyres should be properly inflated (check your vehicle handbook for correct tyre pressures or use our tyre pressure checker) and have at least 1.6mm of tread around the whole tyre.

Engine oil levels

Check your oil levels. Remove your dipstick from the engine and give it a wipe. Put it back in the engine and pull it out again. Your oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks (check your vehicle manual for specific instructions). Make sure your car is parked on an even level when doing this.
