HGV MOT Testing in Bromsgrove — DVSA Authorised Testing Facility
Our test lane on Aston Fields Industrial Estate is a DVSA Authorised Testing Facility, minutes from M5 Junction 5 and M42 Junction 1. We test rigids, tractor units, trailers and PSVs, and because the workshop is on the same site we can put right whatever the test finds without you moving the vehicle.
What you get
A DVSA authorised lane
A DVSA examiner attends our site and tests using our lane and our equipment, so you book around your operation instead of a government test station’s diary.
Rigids, units, trailers and PSVs
Goods vehicles priced on axle count, trailers on their own axle count, PSVs on seating capacity. A trailer is a separate test with its own certificate.
The workshop is on site
Preparation, test, rectification and retest normally happen without the vehicle leaving us. A failure does not become a second day off the road.
How it runs
- 1
Preparation
We inspect against the DVSA HGV inspection manual and put right anything that would fail before the vehicle is presented.
- 2
The test
A DVSA examiner tests on our lane. You are told what was found and what it means, not just handed a sheet.
- 3
Rectification
Most of what a test finds we can fix the same day, fifty yards from where it was found.
- 4
Retest and certificate
We present the vehicle again inside the retest window, at the reduced retest fee, and you leave with the certificate.
More specifically
The parts of this people most often come to us for, each with its own page.
Why operators use us for this
One visit, not three
Preparation, test and retest in the same place, so the vehicle makes one journey rather than three.
Told the price first
Test fees follow the vehicle, so we give you the exact figure before you commit. Online booking shows it before you confirm.
Room for a full outfit
A working commercial site with space to manoeuvre a full-length artic or drawbar combination.
Records that stand up
Inspection and brake test records issued every visit, in the form a DVSA visit expects to see.
MOT's questions
How much does an HGV MOT cost at H. Gittins Transport?
The cost follows the vehicle rather than a single flat rate. A goods vehicle is priced on its axle count, a trailer on its own axle count, and a PSV on its seating capacity, so a twin-axle trailer and a four-axle rigid are not the same test. A retest after a failure is charged separately and costs a fraction of a full test, and extras such as trailer loading or a headlight check apply only where the test calls for them. Tell us the vehicle and you will have the exact figure before you commit to anything — call 01527 870400, or start a booking online and the price is shown before you confirm.
Where can I get an HGV MOT near me in Bromsgrove?
Our test lane is on Aston Fields Industrial Estate in Bromsgrove, B60 3EX, minutes from M5 Junction 5 and M42 Junction 1. Because it is a DVSA Authorised Testing Facility rather than a government test station, operators come to us from Redditch, Worcester, Kidderminster, Droitwich, Halesowen and Birmingham instead of travelling to a station diary. There is room to manoeuvre a full-length artic or drawbar outfit, and the workshop is on the same site.
What is an Authorised Testing Facility?
An ATF is a private site approved by the DVSA to host heavy goods vehicle annual tests. A DVSA examiner attends the site to carry out the test using our lane and equipment. It means you book a slot that suits your operation rather than travelling to a government test station.
What do I need to bring to an HGV annual test?
Bring the vehicle clean and loaded to the correct test weight where applicable, along with the registration document or trailer identification, and any plating certificate. If the vehicle has been modified since its last test, bring the paperwork covering the change.
How long do I have to get a retest?
If the vehicle fails, you have a limited window to present it again at a reduced retest fee. Because our workshop is on the same site, most rectification work is done the same day and the vehicle is retested without a second journey. Call 01527 870400 and we will book the retest with the repair.
