Last week in portsmouth the Police decided to spot check cars on on stretch of road in Cosham, 50% would have failed the MOT. How many garages are failing to pick up on faults to save time checking and does this reflect with some the charges mentioned above ?.

I believe that MoT stations (even these so-called 'inhouse' ones) have to accept members of the public wanting MoT tests as a condition of operating such a testing station. I've used a BT MT workshop for years. They only repair their own vehicles, too.

When I was at college in Plymouth many years ago, several friends used to take their cars to the bus depot for MOT testing. So if your local council or ambulance service does not do MOT testing, try your local bus company!
