Question:
Anyone know of any cheap centres, discounts, vouchers etc. Or is the £45 standard these days?.....
Answers:
I would suggest you find a test centre that ONLY does MOTs. I work for one in Norwich & we are constantly fully booked, because people realise there's no profit in it for us to fail a car, as we dont repair them.
Take your motor to a tyre or exhaust centre for an MOT & it'll probably fail on tyres or exhaust. Funny that, isn't it
Oh, by the way, we charge £32 for the test & £10 for a retest. So, if your car passes 1st time, you get yourself a cheap MOT.
The other way is find your local council depot & see how much they charge.
