Price of MOT

[Andy008]

How much does an MOT for a 5-seat car cost these days?

Thanks.

[ChuckFickens]

mine is going to cost me �45 tomorrow.

The maximum a MOT station can charge is �54, but it is worth shopping round if your worried about saving a little.

I'm always a bit suspicious of cheap ones, as they are probably hoping to get the repair work if it fails.

[ChuckFickens]

Panics advice is good advice.

I know the mechanic that is doing mine, I trust him to fail it if it should fail but also not to fail it for silly stuff that doesn't need doing.

The wife took her Mums car to Mr Clutch today. �25!

Nice to have a choice.here in Northern Ireland the vehicle has to go to a test centre.
The fixed fee [at the moment] for a car is £30-50 and £18-50 for a retest.
we also have to display the MOT disc on the windscreen,which is a good idea.It's a pity displaying an insurance disc is not compulsory as well.

[ChuckFickens]

Eh??

The fixed fee is £30-£50...

thats not a fixed fee surely?

(hmmm, either my car is having it's MOT done now, or somebody has stolen it from the carpark at work!)

[ABerrant]

Those NI fees should read £30.50 and £18.50

We recently had a guy in for an mot repairs quote that had failed at another garage. He was quoted £800 at the other garage. Not sure how much his mot was but I notice they offer a free mot with a service. We found it did not need any repairs, and our testers are pretty thorough. VOSA agreed with us. The other garage got away with a ticking off.

If you are concerned that a garage doing a MOT, is going to 'discover ' work that 'needs ' doing why not use a council MOT station . They have no reason for saying that work needs doing , when it doesn't

bertie wooster i was going to say that because mos are all they do, they dont do repairs, look online to see if one is near you i think they only charge £27.50 as well
