WhoCanFixMyCar discusses whether mobile mechanics can do MOTs.
Some mobile mechanics offer MOTs. However, they will collect your vehicle and take it to a registered test centre rather than doing it on your driveway. This is because it requires specialist equipment that cannot be transported.

Are mobile mechanics cheaper than garages?
Mobile mechanics are sometimes cheaper than conventional garages due to lower overhead costs, but this isn't always the case. The best way to find out whether the mobile mechanics operating in your local area are cheaper is to request quotes.
There are many benefits to using a mobile mechanic besides the price, as we discuss here.
You can use WhoCanFixMyCar's trusted garage network to compare MOT test centres and mechanics based on price, location and reviews.
