I think I have found the reason some cars are advertised without mot's. Its the price! I've had a couple recently and they cost £54 each, well I got a bit off, but the point being, it aint cheap!

They were going to become two-year MOTs - whatever happened to that idea ?? Certainly my local 'only' charges £40 - and gives a free re-test for anything, when the rules only require that for certain limited items.

I believe that MOT stations only have a maximum price that they can charge ie £54, many will undercut others to generate business for themselves.
You are paying almost £10 less that we do trade BM.

Place in the next village does them for £35. When I challenged my 'local' about that he said - "off you go then - see if they give you a Pass! " I decided to stay with the Devil I Know!

As a repeat customer I got mine for £39.75 which for London prices is very good

I went to the Council MOT station. It was about £52 back in Feb.

I trust them because they are not allowed to do repairs (so I'm told), hence no incentive to fail.

They failed it, but that's another story.

Seeing as how a Minor is exempt many sections of the MOT I recon it should cost less.

hey les looks like you are paying the most

Post by **les** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 7:14 pm

I'd be making double sure it was ok if that was the case!

My last two were £45 each, but I did get a coffee and a trip into the pit to check the underside up close.
