Getting your car serviced or getting our cars MOT in Dorset can sometimes be a chore – not with Melbury Motor Company Autocentres.
The minimum legal tyre tread is 1.6mm, so check the small raised areas at the bottom of the grooves and snap up some new tyres if they’re thin or bare.
Check that all the lights on your dashboard come on when you turn the key.
It’s easy to have a bulb go without you noticing, so make sure all your lights – headlights, sidelights, indicators and registration plate bulbs – work and get them replaced if not. Faulty bulbs are the most common reason for failed MOT tests, so don’t let a little thing like this get in the way of yours.
A spot or two of rust probably won’t lead to an MOT mess-up, but big rusty panels and gaps where your bodywork used to be could spell trouble.
If you have windscreen cracks that are bigger than 1cm in diameter, you’ll probably need to get it repaired or replaced before your MOT test.
Check that your wipers are in good nick and replace them if needs be. You may as well top up your screen wash while you’re at it.
It sounds obvious, but all your mirrors, including rear-view and wing mirrors, need to be in good condition so you can see what’s going on around you when you’re driving.
Check that you don’t have any visible leaks from your brake pipe. If your car has ABS brakes, make sure the warning light works.
If your exhaust pipe’s loose or making a strange noise, you may need to get it fixed if you want to pass your MOT test.
All your seatbelts need to be fully functional, so give these a quick check.
Your registration plates should be clean, legal and easy to read.

The simple answer is yes. Our mechanics have been trained to repair all makes – in fact it’s what they enjoy, repairing all different types of cars rather than one make of car in a dealership. That’s why we tend to get the most experienced car mechanics in Dorset working for us as they love the variety of repairs they get to do – no day is the same. But just to confirm, we can carry out a repair on all major car makes and models.
We have the latest diagnostics equipment so we can reset any warning light that comes up on your dashboard, including some of the more expensive cars like Mercedes, Audi and BMW that have very sophisticated onboard electrics. But rest assured, we can switch off any warning light with our diagnostic equipment.
We can fit either Genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part direct from the cars manufacturer, or we can fit after-market parts that do the same job, but are cheaper as they don’t have the OEM’s brand on them. After-market parts are usually cheaper and sometimes are manufactured by the same company too. Simply ask us at the quote stage to produce a fixed price repair with OEM parts and a separate one for after-market parts, and we’ll give you both options so you can choose the one that right for you.
No – if you have manufacturers warranty or even an extended warranty and want to keep it valid, tell us before we quote you. Sometimes you have to have specific parts of brand name parts to comply with a manufacturers warranty. When you tell us, we’ll make sure our quote includes all the right parts so you keep your warranty.
