Advanced Service Centre carry out Class 7 MOT tests at our DVSA-approved testing centre just off the A127, on High Road in Basildon. We have a team of qualified, experienced MOT testers who carry out the tests and many many satisfied customers who bring their vehicles back to us year after year for MOT testing (and servicing and repairs).

What is the difference between Class 4 and Class 7 MOTs?

The key difference between these classes of MOT test is the types of vehicles that are tested within the class. Class 4 is the most common type of MOT test and is suitable for cars and smaller vans and pick-up trucks. Class 7 is for heavier (up to 3.5t) vehicles such as larger vans, large motorhomes and some commercial vehicles. We carry out both classes of MOT test here at Advanced Service Centre.

The basic test is the same in both classes in that we check similar parts of the vehicle such as the brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension, emissions, and the general vehicle structure. However, in the Class 7 test, the tyres and braking systems have additional checks to ensure that they can cope with the greater weight of these vehicles. We need to ensure that your vehicle is able to safely handle the additional pressures that come with carrying heavy weights.

What happens if my vehicle fails its Class 7 MOT test?

If your vehicle fails, you’ll need to have any repairs carried out and then have the vehicle retested. We can repair it here at Advanced Service Centre and in that situation, we’ll retest it free of charge.
