An engineer will inspect for any accident repair. The repair has to be completed to a commercially acceptable standard for the vehicle to pass. The engineer will check the condition of the upper and underbody. There will be a wheel alignment check, a brake test and a road test. All the electrical ancillaries and vehicle lighting will be checked. Tyres, tread, pressure and condition will be checked, the suspension and steering parts will be inspected. We would recommend the vehicle is repaired by an insurance approved garage and the vehicle is MOT’d again after the repairs have been completed, to avoid the vehicle from failing inspection.

Please read our Terms and Conditions.

A retest will be required, the engineer will go through the failure points with you at the time of inspection followed by a failure report sent via email 5 working days after inspection. Once these areas have been rectified, you will need to rebook your vehicle in for re-inspection. If the vehicle fails and requires a retest, as along as the vehicle is brought back within 30 days, the retest fee is between £80 and £100. Over 30 days, the car will need a full inspection at the full current inspection cost.
