Getting Your Car Ready for 2024: A Quick Guide to MOT Tests with C&G Autos
As we kick off the new year in 2024, it’s time to focus on a crucial part of responsible car ownership – the MOT test. The MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual checkup for vehicles older than three years, ensuring they meet safety and environmental standards. At C&G Autos, we understand how important it is to keep your vehicle in top shape, and we’re here to help you navigate the MOT process for a hassle-free start to the year.
Understanding the MOT Test: The MOT test examines various components like lights, brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, and emissions to ensure your vehicle is safe and eco-friendly. Our certified technicians at C&G Autos will thoroughly inspect these areas to make sure your car is roadworthy.

Stricter Emission Standards: Environmental standards are getting tighter, so your vehicle needs to meet the updated requirements. At C&G Autos, we keep up with these changes to ensure your vehicle complies with the latest standards.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): With technology playing a bigger role in cars, features like lane departure warnings and emergency braking are now part of the MOT inspection. Our technicians are skilled in assessing and calibrating these systems.

Regular Maintenance: Keep up with routine maintenance and address issues promptly. Regular servicing at C&G Autos ensures your vehicle is in good shape.
