The aim of Vehicle Emission Testing is to emphasise the importance of well-maintained, clean and efficient vehicles which are cheaper to run, and will emit less pollution.

Air quality affects everyone, and clean air is an essential ingredient of a good quality of life, so the reduction of vehicle emissions is important as they directly affect both you and the people around you. Many drivers do not realise that their vehicle should meet the MOT standard throughout the year.

As well as carrying out the tests, the team will be giving practical advice on how to improve vehicle efficiency and reduce harmful emissions while saving on running costs.

Anyone can come along and get their vehicles checked free of charge.
