Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Any essential exterior light that is not functioning—including headlights, brake lights, indicators, or rear position lights—is considered a Major Fault and will result in an immediate MOT failure. 

We recommend changing wiper blades at least once a year, ideally before winter. Over time, the rubber degrades and hardens, leading to streaking, smearing, and excessive noise. Replacing them annually ensures maximum visibility when you need it most.

Yes. Modern high-intensity discharge (HID/Xenon) and LED systems can be complex and require specialist handling to avoid damage or electrical faults. Our trained technicians can safely diagnose and replace bulbs in these sophisticated systems, ensuring correct aiming and operation. 

No, if the defect affects the area swept by the wiper blade, it will compromise your vision and is likely illegal. If your wiper blades are badly worn or broken, they will fail the MOT test and must be replaced immediately for your safety.
