Retests

If the vehicle is left at JS Motors Oxford for repair and is retested before the end of 10 working days following the day of the initial failure, then only a partial retest is needed for which no fee may be charged.

Appeals

If you wish to appeal against refusal to issue a test certificate for your vehicle:

• Ask for a form (VT17) - obtainable from this testing station or the DVSA website.
• Send the form, with a further full test fee to reach the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency within 14 working days of the refusal notice issue date.
• If your appeal is successful, the fee or, if appropriate, part of it will be returned to you.
• Do not have your vehicle repaired before your appeal is considered. This is because any change to your vehicle may affect the outcome of the appeal.

Repairs

If your vehicle doesn't meet the minimum safety standards determined by the DVSA guidelines it will fail its MOT and must be repaired before an MOT pass certificate can be issued. Your tester will provide a report on the areas in which your vehicle failed and will be able to provide advice in order to rectify any issues highlighted during the MOT test. Should it be necessary, and with your agreement, we can carry out any necessary repair work on site to ensure it passes when retested.

Nearly half of all MOT test failures could be avoided by carrying out simple maintenance, so it's worthwhile checking our MOT checklist beforehand so that your vehicle has the best chance of passing first time.
