Cheers, Thought they had to charge £53 as its what the goverment states it is.
I 'Think' thats the MAXIMUM a garage can charge for an MOT

Theres a few places in York doing them for 35 quid (retail too) :y I dont know if theres a catch though!  :-/

Last time I had mine done, it was £50 for the test, failed it on rear pads, then charged me £25 for a re-test, what a pi$$ take!

They probably make their money on the repairs 'required' to make it pass. My Astra is booked in on Mon at my usual place where they don't do any remedial work.

Another pass to add to the list!  After failure last week, 4 new tyres, new exhaust, new steering idler and repair to front strut, we got the much longed green sheet.  The beast has been told he has to start behaving himself or he needs to find new digs.
