At Shaikly Motor Company, we carry out MOT testing for petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles across Colchester and the surrounding areas. An MOT is an annual inspection that ensures your vehicle meets the safety and environmental standards set by the DVSA.
We promise to deliver a fair and accurate MOT every time — with no upselling or unnecessary recommendations.
At Shaikly Motor Company, we follow the official DVSA price guide. All MOTs are fixed-price — no hidden costs.
Cars, taxis (up to 8 passenger seats) and light vans.
Larger passenger vehicles, e.g. minibuses over 8 seats.
Light commercial vehicles between 3,000kg and 3,500kg.
Some garages offer cheap MOTs to draw customers in, then upsell unnecessary repairs. That’s not how we operate.
At Shaikly EV Specialists, we test, measure, report and advise — nothing more, nothing less. Our reputation is built on transparency, trust and loyal customers who return year after year.
When you bring your electric or hybrid vehicle to us, you’ll know it’s in safe hands.
To check if your vehicle has a valid MOT and find out when your next test is due, visit the DVSA website and enter your vehicle registration number. Alternatively, refer to your current MOT certificate, which will display the expiry date.
You can book your MOT test at any time before it expires. However, to preserve your existing renewal date, the test must be carried out up to one month (minus a day) before your current MOT expires. For example, if your MOT expires on 27th June, the earliest date you can take the test and retain the same renewal date is 28th May.
It’s easy to lose track of when your MOT test is due, but ensuring it stays up to date is crucial. Driving without a valid MOT certificate could lead to a £2,500 fine and may even invalidate your car insurance.
Sign up below and we’ll send you email or text reminders ahead of your next test — 5 weeks before, and again 2 weeks before.
Book an appointment online in under two minutes, or call us!
Call or email us about any service, MOT, tyre, diagnostic or repair work for your electric or hybrid vehicle.
