Mini MOT Testing

The Ministry Of Transport Test is an annual legal requirement for all vehicles 3yrs old and older. It should be thought of as the minimum standards of roadworthiness for a car. Like a lot of the main dealerships, we outsource MOT testing to a trusted MOT centre who don't gain any work from failure certificates and are therefore completely impartial. Unlike a lot of main dealerships, we don't charge a big premium for the privilege!

The Government sets a maximum price for MOT tests. Currently it is set at £54.85 for cars. We offer discounted MOT Testing with FREE retesting.

Mini Transmission Services

Did you know that automatic transmissions need servicing? It's often overlooked and there is plenty of misconceptions and misunderstandings on the topic. Ignore transmission maintenance and you'll be risking gearbox failure. We have researched the topic in great depth and our advice is to service your automatic transmission every 50,000 miles if you want a reliable gearbox. BMW have been known to imply that their automatic transmissions don't require servicing and are sealed for life units. We would suggest considering the question of what their definition of life is. Undoubtedly it is conveniently linked to the warranty period they offer on their cars.

Our opinion is that no fluid or filter has sufficient longevity to last the mileage expected of the car. Would you leave your engine oil unchanged? The transmission fluid performs a similarly important job of lubricating the gearbox internals.
