DerbyTup   10 #13 Posted January 10, 2012 The DVLA states that the MOT test fee for a car is £54.85.  If you are being offered less than that I'd be a bit wary that they might be looking to make up the difference in repairs.  I'd be especially wary of places like Kwik-Fit who offer it for £20 providing you spend at least £35 on a service whilst it's in there.

DeBilde23 Â Â 10 #14 Posted January 10, 2012 DOT MOT are the best in my view, they only do MOT's and no repair work so you are assured a fair test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Unregistered   10 #16 Posted January 12, 2012  The DVLA states that the MOT test fee for a car is £54.85.   We paid £30 to Hi Q on Leppings Lane for the last car we sent down there for MOT.  They pointed out a tyre with 3mm tread on it...  ...with advice to keep an eye on it - not to buy a new one. . . .

markfor   10 #18 Posted January 12, 2012 I went to Halfords Hillsboro  It was half price if booked on net and they didnt fail it!!!    Hi everyone, I've got to get my car in for an MOT at the end of this month, it's the first MOT I've done so I don't want to be ripped off, can anyone recommend a good MOT only garage near Hillsborough/that side of Sheffield? Cheers  Rachael  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
returnofjim   10 #19 Posted January 12, 2012 Foxhill garage, then bring it to me if it needs any repairs. Test is £40 and they do a free retest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mikeyt   10 #22 Posted January 12, 2012 Ive used DOTMOT at olive grove, THORPEs at thurgoland and Hemingways in whitley....all are MOT only as the OP asked for and all were good in my experience...  My advice stay away from national chains where staff are on sales comissions!#  Find a good local small garage that do mots and repairs! I am sure there are some in S6.  I only use lancaster and maw in s35......what they don't know about cars isn't worth knowing.....very fair guys  And yes £54.85 is teh maximum a garage can charge.....lots of independent garages do them for £35/£40 often with a free retest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
