MOT in Dundee

I thought about the council garage but can't find any details on what they can do

We used AM Philip for our MOT - though it may be worth phoning the Council and finding out if they can do it. Think it is Dundee Contract Services on Clepington Road who would do the MOTs.

Try looking for your local council weighbridge or highways depot. If their mot place is not on the premises they should be able to tell you it's location.

Council MOT depots only do MOT's, they do not do repairs so they're not biased and you will get an objective MOT rather than one biased towards any repairs they can make money out of.

Most of them also have facilities for checking HGV's for their VOSA tests so big motorhomes should not be a problem.

thwarted by the weather, got there to be confronted by a steep hill down the the mot bay, no big problem other than it being covered in snow.

also suspect the overhang at the back would have grounded out so spoke to a mech pal of mine and got it in at AM Phillips new place just up from the timex brae
