MOT Tests
MOT tests can be arranged with prior notice between the normal opening hours listed on the left. We use a carefully selected number of local independent MOT testing stations to meet our requirements. This means that every MOT test carried out to the DVSA's strict guidelines is a completely unbiased report on your vehicles roadworthiness. With the garage carrying out the test not set to gain from any work needed, you, the customer can be assured that any defects found are genuine.
Many garages are advertising doing MOT tests from as little as £25. With the RRP of an MOT test currently being £54.85 you may think this is a good deal. If the garage doing the MOT test has a workshop attached that is able to repair any defects found, then is this really an unbiased test result? When your vehicle fails the test and you get a quote for the repair bill, ask yourself the following questions:
- Are all the defects listed on the VT30 fail sheet genuine?
- Is there an extra £29 hidden in the quote for the repair?
Most garages offer a good service at a reasonable cost, but beware of heavily discounted MOT test fees. DVSA the governing body of MOT tests, set the RRP price after careful consideration of all aspects of running an MOT station and the costs involved in doing so. With the average length of time taken for doing an MOT test being 45 minutes and most garages charging an hourly rate of £50 - £60 per hour, add the costs of maintenance, repair and calibration of the test equipment plus in most cases two people needed for at least some of the test, then you have to ask yourself how these garages are managing to discount MOT's so heavily.
