Vauxhall MasterFit Centres and dealers are gearing up to provide MOT tests for more than 50,000 owners of three-year-old Vauxhall cars and vans stay when their first MOT inspection falls due in March.

Next month marks the second biggest peak of three year old vehicles reaching the MOT threshold since the twice a year registration change was introduced six years ago. Over 140,000 new Vauxhalls have been registered at the same point in the previous three years.

An open door, evenings and weekend policy means that Vauxhall's customers can turn up for MOT tests without appointments
