Vehicle Welding Services
Welding is essential for repairing corrosion damage and structural weaknesses that can make a vehicle unsafe and cause MOT failures. Our welding services at 70 Glebe Rd, Bedlington cover:
Structural welding
Sills, chassis rails, subframes, and suspension mounting points — critical areas tested during the MOT. We weld in new metal to restore structural integrity.
Exhaust welding
Repairing cracked or corroded exhaust sections where full replacement is not necessary. A cost-effective fix for small holes and split joints.
Bodywork welding
Wheel arches, door bottoms, and floor pans where corrosion has compromised the metal. Prevents further spread and restores the body shell.
MOT failure repairs
Targeted welding to address specific corrosion-related MOT failure points so your vehicle can pass its retest.
Structural corrosion is particularly common on vehicles regularly driven through Northumberland's country roads, where mud, salt, and standing water accelerate rust. We advise having any suspect areas checked before your MOT to avoid surprises.
MOT Corrosion Failures
Corrosion is one of the leading causes of MOT failure on vehicles over ten years old. The MOT tester checks structural areas by pressing or pulling at specific points. If the metal gives way, crumbles, or shows holes within 30cm of a structural or safety-critical area, the vehicle fails.
Common corrosion failure points in Bedlington include inner and outer sills, rear spring hangers, subframe mounts, and the floor pan around seat belt anchor points. These areas are exposed to road spray, salt, and standing water — all accelerated by Northumberland's climate.
If your vehicle has failed on corrosion, we can assess the damage and carry out the welding repair. We cut out the corroded metal, fabricate or fit new sections, and weld them in to restore the structure. Once complete, we can rebook your MOT retest.
