At Oldfields, we are acutely aware that the MOT is merely a snapshot of a vehicle’s condition on the day of testing. It confirms that, at that moment, the car met the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. We believe in providing more than that! Vehicles are dynamic machines, and their condition can change rapidly with use and also through lack of use.

Relying solely on the MOT can lead to unforeseen issues. For instance, a component might pass the MOT but be close to its wear limit, leading to potential failures shortly after the test. This reactive approach can result in unexpected breakdowns, inconvenient repairs, and increased costs.

By maintaining a vehicle to a higher standard than the MOT minimum, we adopt a proactive approach. Regular servicing and thorough inspections allow us to identify and address potential issues before they escalate. This not only enhances the vehicle’s reliability but also provides peace of mind to our customers. 

Moreover, a well-maintained vehicle often performs more efficiently, offering better fuel economy and reduced emissions. It also tends to have a higher resale value, as prospective buyers recognize the benefits of consistent upkeep.

At Oldfields, our commitment is to ensure that every vehicle we take care of is not just roadworthy. We also provide a vehicle inspection that takes into account performance and longevity as we don’t believe in working to a minimum standard. We provide our customers with comprehensive care that keeps their vehicles running smoothly and safely throughout the year, enabling them to plan more effectively with minimum unplanned downtime.
