Am based in Colchester. Anyone know any good places near that area? I'll travel up to 60 miles if need be!

Cheers

What's a 'good place' for a MOT test? I'd understand the question if you were looking for someone good to work on your car, but you're looking for a MOT test. Any test station will do. If your car meets the requirements, which should be easy for an E30, then it passes. If it doesn't meet the requirements, then it fails.
Short answer to your question is any where local that gives a discount.

The car meets the requirements. I am more interested in advisories, I have a valuation coming up for insurance purposes and want zero advisories on my latest MOT. By MOT garage I mean the following: Friendly people, pre-MOT check, sensible cost for repairs done in house, not finding problems that don't exist, etc.
