Cambus MOT

DVSA-approved MOT testing in Tollcross and Shawfield, Glasgow

Cambus MOT Ltd operates as a family-run Class IV MOT station in Glasgow, with two testing centres: one in Tollcross and one in Shawfield. The business states that it has been established for 30 years and draws on more than three decades of motor trade experience in vehicle mechanics and MOT testing. Both sites are approved by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

The stations carry out impartial testing on site using what the company describes as the latest equipment. Where a vehicle needs work, the team can explain the required repairs and arrange them through fully trained mechanics at what it presents as fair prices.

Vehicles tested and electric vehicle MOTs

Cambus MOT covers private cars, taxis, camper vans and goods vehicles up to 3,000kg. Electric vehicle testing is available at both the Tollcross and Shawfield centres, a capability the company highlights separately from its general MOT service.

What happens if a vehicle fails

If a vehicle does not pass, the station explains the repairs needed and can help organise them. A free retest is offered within 10 working days. For owners who decide not to repair a vehicle, Cambus MOT Ltd indicates that it may purchase scrap vehicles, non-runners and MOT failures, with enquiries handled directly by the team.

Booking, reminders and practical details

Tests can be booked online by selecting either the Tollcross or Shawfield centre. The company also operates an MOT reminder service that can notify customers when a test is due, available on request. Vehicles may be presented up to one month before the MOT expiry date. Both centres have ample parking and operate by appointment only.

At the time of writing, the website listed an MOT test price of £54.85. It also mentioned free top-ups of washer fluid, oil and brake fluid where required, and free headlight adjustments intended to help prevent a failure.

Reputation and customer feedback

The site states that its MOT stations are rated five stars on Google, and it directs visitors to a page of reviews. These ratings are presented as information available on the company's website rather than as an independent assessment.
