Not looking forward to the bill...... A service is part of the MOT? I once had a car with a rusty hole over the rear wheel arch. The guy at the garage told me to cover it with duct tape so he couldn’t see it. MOT passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 That doesn't sound like a bad MOT at all. Forget the cost of the service as that's nothing to do with your MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted November 23, 2020 Members Share Posted November 23, 2020 There is a theory that tyres and brake pads should never need changing at the same time, but there’s a lot of contributing factors to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Tyres,Brake Pads,Wipers - all consumables, if the vehicle is 5 years old or over, then that's a fairly decent Mot result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Mine passed last week. Eleven years old nothing needed. A couple of years back it needed wipers. The garage had already fitted them when I went to collect but only charged me for the parts (reasonable) nothing for fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Just hate spending money on the car. Just boring. Oh and they've not charged me for fixing the seat, just gave me a telling off.
