I get mine for £25, usually I avoid places that are this cheap as they tend to be looking for work, but this guy is a fellow Opel Manta Owners Club member.

Good luck and yes £49 is what i paid for my everyday car's MOT about 2months ago.

Not mates rates... well kinda. I've spent so much in their garage (unifit plymouth) that they take pity on me and my various sheds.Brianmoooore wrote:Where's that then, Munky? Or is it mates rates?munky30 wrote:£20 with free retake within 7 days and basic service (fluids) thrown in for free.
I also pay cash and get them to do the work to make it pass.

My last one was £40.

£30.
£10 payable if you fail, then the remaining £20 when you return and hopefully pass.

£50, but that's at the council depot, so you're guaranteed a "fair trial". They have no interest in making up stuff for your car to fail on, as they do no work on private vehicles.

my MOT cost £50, and although failed 1st time, they allowed a free retest within 10 days which did pass yesterday

Idea of a bargain around here is £45!!!
Re:

I thought the price was supposed to be standardised since the launch of the new computer based certification. With a top end fee for testing at £54?
Re:

can't get an MOT for less than £50 in Bournemouth, Swansea can be anything from £30-£50, but usually passes at a £50 garage and doesn't at a £30 garage.

Re:

mines £30 and a tenner for the guys pocket even if it had a bold tyre. 
best friend MOT man, BUT my car never fails, every 6 months it goes on a ramp for a serious overhaul at my mates garage just routine check... my life is more important than a metal shaped into a car..

Mine cost £30 , but that is a trade rate, and he tells me to fix the faults he finds , so it always passes!!!
Oh , and i do fix the faults pronto as he is a friend of a friend.

Very similar to the arrangement I have, but unfortunately the test station is 150 miles away!topspark wrote:Mine cost £30 , but that is a trade rate, and he tells me to fix the faults he finds , so it always passes!!!

Re:

£40 is about the average round by me.
Re:

Just to clarify, my garage that charges £25 that is his standard rate, and my car's do fail if they're not right. Just put Jayne's Volvo 480 in and it failed on everything from Headlamp aim to handbrake travel. All fair cops mind. Just got to get my ass in gear to sort it out (or scrap it).
