MOT’S
Last year, Lancing Commercial carried out over 1,500 MOTs at our purpose-built MOT test and service bays.
“There’s a lot of trust involved in MOTs, as well as negative customer press in the industry. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether your vehicle meets the minimum required standards – we may not be the cheapest, but this means there is no incentive to pass or fail a vehicle – the fee is viable in its own right. You’ll need to book some way in advance – because all of our customers believe in this ethos”
We perform MOTs for Class 4 and Class 5 light plus Class 7 vehicles and we also carry out MOT pre-check, preparation and presentation for VOSA tests for commercial vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes.
We offer while you wait MOTs and repairs, and customers can request an MOT online or call us on 01903 753852 to arrange.
Our 20,000 sq. ft. premises on Lancing Business Park offers plenty of parking and a customer waiting room.

- We test on a lift with posts at each corner, so can accommodate vehicles up to 4.62m (15ft 2ins) wheelbase, 2.13m (7ft) width wheel to wheel and 2.54m (8ft 4 ins) total max width
- Motorhome testing for most UK manufacturers (including Hymer), but we don’t MOT twin/tag rear axle motorhomes. A-class Dethleffs with large coach type mirrors unfortunately are too wide for our lift
- We’ll always try our best on minor failures such as bulbs and headlight alignment to repair them at the end of the test : PRS “Pass with Rectification at Station,” but this will always be subject to the tester’s view and time available.
Please be aware we are NOT an Authorised Test Facility (ATF) for HGV MOT purposes. The nearest ATF to us is Rossetts Commercials, tel: 01903 223400.
MOT Repairs and Failures
Our modern commercial bodyshop and dedicated service bays allow us to carry out MOT repairs and diagnostics onsite quickly and cost-effectively, so that you can get back on the road swiftly.
If your vehicle fails an MOT, we’ll work with you to find the best solution to minimise the time your vehicle is off the road.
And, because we’re independently owned, we have no allegiance to particular manufacturers and can quickly source the best and most cost-effective spares and parts.
