What does a Van MOT include at Ansa?


A van MOT service covers a wide range of checks to ensure your vehicle is safe and legal to drive. The test focuses on key areas that affect safety and emissions. Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:


  • Brakes and braking systems: Checking effectiveness and condition

  • Lights and signalling: Headlights, indicators, brake lights, and hazard lights

  • Tyres and wheels: Tread depth, condition, and correct fitting

  • Steering and suspension: Ensuring smooth and safe handling

  • Exhaust and emissions: Testing pollution levels and exhaust system condition

  • Bodywork and chassis: Checking for rust or damage that could affect safety

  • Seat belts and airbags: Confirming they are present and functional

  • Mirrors and windscreen: Visibility checks and damage assessment

  • Horn and wipers: Basic safety features tested for functionality


Booking your MOT with a trusted local centre means these checks are done thoroughly. If anything needs fixing, they’ll let you know clearly and offer advice on the best next steps.


How much are the MOTs for vans at Ansa?


Van MOTs at Ansa are from £42. Generally, MOT prices for vans are slightly higher than for cars due to the size and weight of the vehicle so best to check with the team before booking but it won't vary too much from our standard price.



Remember, the MOT fee is set by the government as a maximum price, so no garage should charge more than £54.85 for a van MOT. If you find a price higher than this, come and see us!


Please note, we unfortunatley can't test vans that are class 7 (vans over 3 tonne)
