That does seem a lot. You should have shopped around. £35 seems the norm.

I can get it as cheap as £35, but tend to go to the garage I know and pay £45.

I pay 50 plus but they are very fair and will take the time with the emissions knowing it needs to be piping hot with only one cat to pass.

MOT's range from £29.95 up to £54.85 which is the highest vosa allow any test station to charge and the test station itself gets to make there own price within the bracket

PaulC72

£50 for me, but have always taken mine and the other halfs cars there and they do let a few things slide, if there a bit close to the mark.

Sounds like a top place and BELOW the lowest price threshold

Jamo

iTrader: (23)

ranges for £30 to £55 round here, however the £55 one will sit and have a coffee for 30 minutes of the mot and the rest just waddles round and check the "important" bits lol if it fails there its bad!

i pay £28.50, they dont do repairs either so they will only fail it if its broke.

If you pre-book online with Kwik-Fit, it's £35.00.

I used to pay for £54 for the convenience of getting it done at 6pm. Now I just go on my lunch at work or on a Saturday.

Not being funny but i wouldn't let a Kwik-Fit monkey anywhere near my car, even for an MOT.

Dr.No

£33 in Swindon two weeks ago - at the same place last time it was £44. Hoping its £22 next time :-)

SirFozzalot

£40 at my local.

hodgy0_2

when you pay a main dealer £35.00 to change a lightbulb, the MOT has always seemed good value to me

Does it include a free retest?

Some cheaper places don't give free retests.

In the end of the day its an hour's labour (i.e you have to pay someone to totter round a car for an hour) plus the overhead costs for equipment and regular calibration checks, inspections and training as well as the usual stuff in a workshop environment (insurance, heating, eleccy, rates, phone lines etc).

Obviously if the business model is geared around fixing the cars that do "fail" MOT then the MOT itself can be made cheaper as an offset to lure people in through the gates

It was a MoT only place.The car passed so i dont know about retest fee.

I would never let them actually work on my car, but an MOT is just an inspection. Plus I insist that I watch.

halfords autocentres are doing half price on MOTs at the mo and you can pay with Tesco clubcard vouchers

Going rate is around £30 up here. However one place is doing a promotion (which has been running a while) at £19.99! Not seen anyone cheaper.

A friends wife recently went to a kwik fit and they claimed she needed four new tyres for a pass, they soon changed their mind when her husband turned up and pointed out all four tyres probably had 10k's worth of driving left before they were even close to the legal limit. . Same kwikfit had billed for a new injection system on a Frontera I purchased, not only did they not change the injectors for new ones they missed a clip off one of them. I would rather eat my own **** than send a car there for anything.
