First MOT
Im due to do my first MOT in about a week. The thing is my front left indicator is broken but I cant find a new one to replace it. Will this fail my MOT? Also, what is the the average MOT price? I need my electric windows and my demister fixing too so will this add to the price? Cheers

Shop around first for your mot, look in yellow pages and call them for a price - some smaller garages are still allowing a free retest (should it fail) within 10 working days. I have just had mine done at �30. ive one small job left to do when the rain goes off, also you are still able to drive to and from a (pre-booked) test without a certificate.
Now you have said what car you have, these people will be able to help

The maximum fee that a testing station can charge for an MOT is �50.35:

Most garages charge the maximum but some offer a discounted figure.
As has been suggested, it can be a good idea to find a garage which offers a free re-test. However, if you know a good independent local garage (irrespective of whether it's a test centre), it's sometimes simplest to book your car in with them and tell that that you want it to get through its MOT test.
That's what I did with my car recently. I simply told the garage, "I'll drop it in Friday morning. It needs a new wheel bearing and a bulb. Fix anything else which needs doing and get it tested for me". I collected it a few hours after I dropped it off. Everything was fixed and it had been tested at a centre about 5 miles down the road from my garage.
Doing it that way meant that I knew that it would pass the test because my favourite garage had already checked it over before taking it to the test centre. It also meant that I knew that all the work would be done at a reasonable price. (If a car fails a test, it's always tempting to let the test centre do the work - this can prove to be expensive!).
