Maybe you would be better off going to a local garage that you cant trust.

Even if its £5 or £10 more, it will give you peace of mind.

Average MOT price around here is £34 anyway, for that little difference it aint worth it, take ya car somewhere ya know and trust.

Even a dealership garage will do an MoT for £25. It's the new tyres, break pads, engine coolant, cylinder head etc that they suggest you need that will cost the earth.

Unless you know a local garage well or have been recommended one, I'd stick to a moderately sized mechanic.

We have had our car's MOT carried out by Quickfit fot the last 2 years and have had no trouble at all. The car passed both times without problems (once we needed a couple of tyres). We are booked in again for Thursday 5/10 and don't expect any problems this time either.

What the fuck is it with dead threads at the moment? This is 12 months old!!

the price of MOTs has gone up, i think it's £45 now. i'm guessing the same applies everywhere.

my car passed, only needed a new indicator circuit! pretty good for an N reg.

eta: oops! i didn't look at the date. only had my car taxed 3 weeks ago and i did think i don't remember replying to a thread about this..haha.

make sure you don't do it late cos they have it all computerised now and know if you haven't taxed it
