Is your Tesla approaching its MOT? Here at Dack we work with many Tesla vehicles, from MOTs and servicing to in-depth diagnostics and battery repairs.

On the day

An MOT takes on average 1 hour to complete. You can:

What Is Checked on a Tesla MOT?

A Tesla is tested to the same standard as any other car, with one difference: there is no exhaust emissions test.

Brakes

Brake condition and performance are tested. Because regenerative braking does most of the slowing, the discs on an electric car can corrode, so they are worth a look before the test.

Tyres and wheels

Tread depth and condition. A Tesla is heavy and quick, so check the inner edges of the tyres, where wear is easy to miss.

Suspension and steering

Arms, links, bushes and steering joints are checked for wear and play.

Lights and visibility

Headlights, indicators, brake lights, wipers, washers and the windscreen.

Seat belts and warning lights

Seat belts, the horn, mirrors and warning lights such as airbag and ABS.

Body and structure

The body, doors, bonnet, boot and number plates are checked for security and condition.

If Your Tesla Needs Work to Pass

If the test finds a problem, we will explain what is needed and what it will cost before any work is done. Brakes, tyres, suspension and most other repairs can be carried out here, so your car does not need to go elsewhere.

It often makes sense to book a Tesla service or a wheel alignment for the same visit.
