MOT Test in Poplar, E14 — What to Expect at Woodseer Autos

12 April 20264 min read

If you live or work in Poplar and your MOT is coming up, you want a testing station that's close by, reliable and straightforward. Here's what to expect when you come to Woodseer Autos.

Where We Are

We're at 16 Pixley Street, London E14 7DF — just off Poplar High Street. If you're coming from the DLR, we're a short walk from Blackwall station. The entrance is via 14 Copenhagen Place, through the driveway past the parking spaces.

What Happens During Your MOT

When you arrive, our technicians will take your vehicle straight in (or as soon as we're ready if it's a busy day). The test itself covers over 65 inspection points:

  • Lights, indicators and reflectors
  • Steering and suspension
  • Brakes — condition and performance
  • Tyres — tread depth, condition and pressure
  • Windscreen, wipers and washers
  • Exhaust emissions
  • Seatbelts and seats
  • Bodywork and structure
  • Registration plates and VIN
  • Most tests take around 45 minutes to an hour.

    If Your Vehicle Fails

    We'll explain exactly what failed and why — in plain English, not mechanic jargon. You'll get an honest quote for repairs, and if we do the work, the retest is free.

    Most common failures we see from Poplar and E14 drivers are lighting issues, worn tyres and brake components. Many of these can be sorted same-day.

    MOT Classes We Test

    We're authorised for Classes 1–5 and 7, which covers motorbikes, cars, vans, minibuses and goods vehicles up to 3,500kg. Our VTS number is V106376.
