Easy MOT on a saturday!
Hey,
I had my Scoob MOT'd weekend just gone. Done on a satuday, they fitted a cat ;) , it passed, pipe put back to normal, and home again. All done for the bargain price of £95! Macarthy's of Newbury if you need the same service. Think this might only be a saturday thing as they do sooo much trade stuff during week. |
Ouch..........glad I have a friendlier MOT station who does exactly the same for much less.
|
Dont think putting thier name up will help though, some right roasters read this and might Tout on you.

No offence to the O.P. but putting their name up and saying they fiddled your cat pipe isn't very clever - for them.
:nono: |
lol @ windup thread

Why is that fiddled?
MOT is an "at the time" test, they are not ensuring its okay for 12 months, the screen wash might run out before then. As long as the work is carried out before the test starts and then backed out after the tests ended its fine. |
£95 a 'bargain'? That's nearly twice what my MOT garage charges.

i still pay 25quid for my MOT`s ;)
|
Is there an official price for MOT, I keep paying 50 in SW London, mine wife and son's cars in quick succession, price seems to be somewhat inflation busting IMO
|
I pay £30 and that is with a "tip" to save me any hassle shall we say.

I'm taking a guess it being a fiddle as the M.O.T. station are knowingly fitting a decat exhaust to the owners car, and knwo and indeed watch the car drive away on the road and not off road 9what decats are suaully for legal wise). Thats not me nit picking, just explaining my p.o.v.

hi choc! i'm an mot tester and as long as it passes the test at the time, it's up to the owner if he wants to pay to have it changed it's him or her that could get a pull and tested at the side of the road!

Point taken. All I'm saying it the o.p. is daft for admitting the m.o.t. station knew the car wasn't technically road legal. I know we all do it, but we don't all name the station and possibly drop them in the sh1t. Thats all I was trying to say. :thumb:

mine passed with no cats, thats how it was when i got it from the garage, took it the garage i take my cars to for mot, he put it on his emissions tester and it passed, i've had numerous cars over the years and soem have really struggled on the emissions, cant believe the will pass with no cat and my mot inspector was stumped as well.

The responsibility of running a car with no cat's is mine, as is asking someone to take it off for me.
As said before an MOT is 'at the time' , so when I run out of washer fluid, change my bulbs to ultra bright non legal ones, and have a blown tail light, I'm just as much at fault - cos all of those are failures too. At time of test, it was legal, cos they made it legal, I then requested, taking full personal responsibility, for them to take it off. i'll take my other road car there when its needs its MOT done, normal MOT price, just the ease of a saturday! End of. |
