Just had my car in for it's MOT, and it failed big time. The MOT rules have changed significantly now and the MOT test itself costs £120 over double the original cost.
Failed on
Just be wary when you book in for an MOT this year chaps, a lot has changed and your going to end up with a large bill to fix it.
I see the benefits and merits of a tough MOT test but this is just plain silly. It's going to cost me around £1500 to put the car through it this year.
Failed on
- Small 5mm chip on windscreen in drivers view.
- Headlight lens translucency
- Slightly noisy wheel bearing (there is no play in it though)
- Front left indicator too yellow
- Slight frays on the edge of the seatbelt
- Dashboard service light was on
- One bar on the rear windscreen demister is not working
- CV joint leaking (I was expecting this one)
- Front and rear brake pads have 6mm of wear left
- 1mm ridge on the front and rear discs
- Emissions failure - last year it would have passed with flying colours this year it is so tough pretty much every pre 2008 car is failing.
