New · Ask Lois

Failed your MOT? Got an advisory you don't understand?

Lois is PDL's MOT expert. Paste your MOT result — or snap a photo of the certificate — and she'll explain every item in plain English: what it means, how serious it is, whether you can still drive, and what happens next.

Failed on "Nearside front tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm". Can I still drive it?
Lois · PDL MOT expert
Dangerous That one's graded dangerous, so legally the car can't be driven until the tyre's replaced — not even to a garage. It just means the front-left tyre has worn below the legal 1.6mm. It's a quick fix: we can fit a new tyre the same day, and because we've done the repair the retest is free. Want me to help you book that?

Questions

Before you book

How much is an MOT at PDL?

A Class 4 MOT is £45. If you need it today and we have a slot, an urgent MOT is £54.85. If it fails and we do the repairs, the retest is free. If you have the work done elsewhere, a partial retest is £10.

Do you offer collection and delivery?

Yes — free for local customers in and around Gloucester. Mention it in the notes when you book, or call us.

Can I spread the cost of a repair?

Yes. We offer Payment Assist, which lets you split a repair bill into interest-free instalments. Ask when you get your quote.

Will servicing here affect my manufacturer warranty?

No. We use OE-quality parts and follow the manufacturer's schedule, which keeps your warranty valid under UK block exemption rules.

What happens if my car fails its MOT?

We'll text you an itemised, photographed quote for the repairs. You approve what you want done, we fix it, and the retest is free. If you'd rather understand the fail first, ask Lois.
