Frequently Asked Questions
What tools and equipment are covered by MOT garage insurance?
With traders combined cover, you can get insurance for both your buildings and their contents. MOT stations with diagnostic equipment, machinery, plant, and tools, can be covered for these expensive items. A Kingfisher account executive can visit you and advise on the items to be covered, working with you to assess their value.
Who can get MOT station insurance?
Any business that has a licence to carry out MOTs and an authorised examiner can request a quote for MOT station insurance. You will need a well-maintained MOT testing facility to carry out your work.
What specialist motor trade insurance is needed by MOT stations?
Engineering inspection cover is important to ensure that the equipment you use – such as ramps and lifting tables – are appropriately maintained and meet Health and Safety at Work Act requirements. MOT loss of licence cover is also worthwhile in the event that you should lose your licence to carry out MOTs, as this can be an essential part of your motor trade business.
