Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
A car MOT is an annual inspection that ensures your vehicle meets acceptable safety and environmental standards. It is a legal requirement to book an MOT test every twelve months unless your car is under three years old.
An MOT consists of dozens of tests, including an emissions test, but it doesn't cover the condition of the clutch, engine or gearbox. The three most common reasons for and MOT failure are lighting/signalling, suspension and brakes.
At the end of the test, you will get an MOT certificate that says whether your car passed or failed. If it fails, you can only drive your car if your current certificate is still valid and the test didn't identify any "dangerous" problems. Otherwise, you must get your vehicle repaired immediately.
Finding an affordable car MOT centre with good reviews is essential because you never know whether your vehicle will require extra work after the test. Fortunately, you're in the right place.
