    Anyone used the Devizes or Calne MOT test centres?
  • Has anyone used the council MOT centre in Ivybridge?
    Proud to be dealing with my debts:money:
  • I was wondering the same thing. My car MOT is due in the next couple of weeks and was wondering if any one had used the MOT Centre in Ivybridge ?
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    No centres for Somerset!
    Nearest is Exeter.

  • We contacted the VOSA testing station in Calne last year after Martin posted this information, it turns out they won't test private cars, only council vehicle and other public service vehicles.

    If you google VOSA testing stations you get their website and it tells you what each station offers.

    Can't seem to see any station (at least in the south west) that says it will test private cars.

    I used the Devizes branch this week and would highly recommend it. I will be using it again next year.

    Thanks - did your car need work and if so, presume you had to have the work done elsewhere?
  • Cheltenham one advise booking 2 weeks in advance, they just told me they cant see my car until the 20th!

    Not sure if this is genuine or not, or they just dont want Private vehicles!
