Why Choose Cedar Garage for Your Ford MOT?

Your MOT only comes round once a year, so it's worth getting it done properly. Every Ford MOT at our Worthing garage is genuine and thorough, carried out by testers who work on Fords every day and know the parts that tend to wear, from suspension springs to brakes and exhausts. That includes hybrid and electric Fords like the Kuga Plug-in Hybrid and Mustang Mach-E.

Once the test is done, our front of house team will translate any advisories from technical jargon into plain English, so you know exactly where your car stands. We'll never push you into repairs you don't need, and we'll be honest about when an advisory realistically needs addressing. It's this approach that earned us the Customer Service award at the Adur & Worthing Business Awards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ford MOT FAQs

How much is a Ford MOT in Worthing?

We charge £54.85 for a car MOT, which is the maximum fee set by the DVSA. If anything needs attention, we'll give you an honest quote before any work is done.

How long does a Ford MOT take?

We allow around 50 minutes for every MOT, so our testers have time to check everything properly.

What happens if my Ford fails its MOT?

We'll explain why it failed and give you an honest quote for the repairs. If your Ford stays with us for the work, the partial retest is free within 10 working days.

Can I book my Ford MOT and service together?

Yes, and it's the easiest way to keep on top of both in one visit. Just let us know when you book online or give us a call.

Do I need to take my Ford to a Ford dealer for its MOT?

No. Any approved MOT centre can test your Ford without affecting its warranty. Choosing a garage that knows Fords means any repairs are handled by people who see them every day.

When is my Ford's first MOT due?

Your Ford's first MOT is due three years after it was first registered, then every year after that. You can check your MOT date on GOV.UK using your registration.

Can you MOT hybrid and electric Fords?

Yes. We MOT hybrid and electric Fords, including the Kuga Plug-in Hybrid, Puma and Mustang Mach-E.

Can you MOT my Ford Transit van?

Yes. We MOT Ford vans, including the Transit Connect, Transit Custom and Transit. Give us a call with your registration and we'll get it booked in.

Will my Ford fail its MOT if the airbag light is on?

Yes. An airbag warning light is an MOT fail, and so are some other warning lights, such as the engine management or ABS light. Book in for fault finding and we can fix it before your test.

Why does my Ford have more advisories than last year?

Parts like tyres, brakes and suspension wear gradually, so things that were fine last year can start to show. We'll talk you through each one and let you know how soon it needs attention.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my Tesla Model 3 to Cedar Garage on Tarring Road after an aftermarket body kit's rear diffuser brake light caused hyper-flashing when braking and indicating. Jake was fantastic-he diagnosed the wiring issue quickly and had it sorted on the spot. I was back on the road in under an hour with everything working flawlessly. Jake is a top bloke: friendly, informative, and skilled. Outstanding service!
