How much was your last MOT?

[mattoo]

Yay! That's me with another year of MOT.
This morning the car was picked up then checked over, fixed and brought back to me this afternoon with a new certificate.
A number plate light and front brake pads were changed.
The price including the MOT test and parts was £178..

Now I'm not complaining, just wondering how others fare..

Mine cost me loads, cant remember exact cost of parts but it failed on rear lower shock bush so I got 2 OEM rear shocks as bush not available seperately, also needed front strutt top mounts and a steering rack gaiter. All replaced with OEM as my local stealer gives me discount. Think the shocks were £66 each and few quid for mounts and gaiter. Only 60000 miles on car so probably all original.

not really a good thing to brag about on an open forum, it's nobs like your mot tester that make vosa keep an eye on the rest of us who are genuine testers.

I get mine for free and i tend to test my own cars as it's a good chance to get a proper look round them to make sure all is well.

I guess the issue is that some people see the yearly "MOT" as the only time that work gets done on the car, they drive it for a year, then put it in for an MOT, service and whatever repair work thats required, and thus expect a big bill every time.

However i maintain my car year round, if there was something on the car that would fail the MOT, it'd be fixed as soon as it was noticed, and i always give the car a good going over before the test to ensure it doesnt fail.

I've NEVER had a car of my own fail an MOT.

i had mine 1 week today, had a tear on my front drivers side tire so brought 2 new firestones for the front of the car before the mot (£130 each) and brought a new wind screen due to mine being cracked in several places (£156) then it flew through the mot, no problems what so ever, was quite happy with that

we get one free one at work then £25 after that.

as a tester myself our boss does them..... and as i always own sheds they never pass first time!
