A1 Diagnostics offers MOT services to all drivers, starting from just £35. We use state-of-the-art diagnostics tools, and our mechanics have more than 75 years’ experience between them, making A1 Diagnostics a great choice for your vehicle’s annual overhaul.
One customer who recently brought their vehicle to us for an MOT was the owner of an Audi Q3 pictured below.
These high-quality cars are solid and reliable, and their MOT pass rate is generally around 87%. There are a few areas where the Q3 can experience some issues, including bulb blowouts on lamps, tyre wear from the heavier weight of the SUV, and worn brake pads and suspension bushings.
These are straightforward checks for our mechanics to make, and you can even prep at home by checking the tyre treads yourself! Simply place a 20p coin in the treads and check whether you can see the ridge around the outside of the design on the flat face of the coin. If you can see it, chances are you’ll need a new tyre.
Bulbs and lamps don’t sound like serious issues, but did you know that as many as 30% of all MOT failures are due to faulty lights? Getting those bulbs replaced can be a quick win, and A1 Diagnostics can make these ‘running repairs’ for you quickly and efficiently.
As well as the common issues for the Audi Q3s, there are other areas which our mechanics will check carefully when you bring your vehicle to us for an MOT. For diesel Q3s, a thorough check is made of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This filter can get blocked and clogged, affecting the car’s emissions and potentially causing an MOT failure.
We also check for any warning lights that might be popping up on the dashboard, and use our expert diagnostic equipment to help us track and resolve any lurking issues.
By the time we’ve finished, your vehicle will have had a top-notch check-up and be ready to get back on the open road!
