Orwell offers MoT testing – at night!

MoT testing for both cars and vans in the Newmarket area is now available up to midnight, thanks to a new development by local Mercedes-Benz dealer Orwell Truck & Van.

Orwell is the official Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealer for all of East Anglia– the company also has dealerships in Ipswich, Norwich and Colchester.

But at its Newmarket depot an extension to the workshop area has provided space for a dedicated, fully-equipped MoT testing bay.

Depot Manager Lee Seager says: “Although we’re a truck and van company we can now offer Class 4 and Class 7 MoT tests – which cover cars and commercial vehicles with gross weights of up to 3.5 tonnes.

“And because we are truck specialists our workshop is already open from the early morning late into the night, so we can offer tests long after most garages have locked up and gone home. Busy, hard-working trades people, who can’t afford to have their vans off the road during working hours, can drop off their vehicle at the end of the day and have it ready to roll again first thing the next morning. We think the service we offer is unique, certainly in this area.”

Lee presides over a workshop team of 14 technicians, including three apprentices and four qualified MoT testers. The workshop, situated on the Pines Industrial Estate, Fordham Road, Exning, is open from 7am-midnight Monday to Thursday, 7am-10pm on Friday, and7am-noonon Saturday. For more information on MoT testing, or any queries about servicing and repairs or Mercedes vehicles, contact Lee or any of his team on 01638 720204.

Orwell Truck & Van provides sales and support of the entire Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle range, from the compact and stylish Vito van to the mighty Actros tractor unit, as well as the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter range of light trucks, throughout East Anglia.
